Model Railroading > Changing couplers on a Stewart F3Date: 12/10/09 09:53 Changing couplers on a Stewart F3 Author: daveupfirst Can someone tell me how to change out couplers on this diesel so I can put Kadee,s on it. Help is appreciated. Thanks

Ryan Ballard Date: 12/10/09 10:08 Re: Changing couplers on a Stewart F3 Author: wabash2800 Yes, Kadee has a special close coupler set-up especially for the Stewart F units. I used it on my F-7's when I still had Stewarts. IIRC, it pops right in without any modification.

They look VERY good too. Paul Liddiard Spanish Fork, UT Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 12/15/09 06:22 by lizzard_45. Date: 12/11/09 22:56 Re: Changing couplers on a Stewart F3 Author: CM1 Kadee #450, not 470.

Date: 12/12/09 07:50 Re: Changing couplers on a Stewart F3 Author: TCnR I had heard that Stewart/Bowser had moved away from the frames & motors that I had purchased, the ones that were apparently from Kato. Any info on their recent frames?
The Kadee adapter is/was perfect, locks in place just right. Allows tighter coupling between units. Date: 12/12/09 12:27 Re: Changing couplers on a Stewart F3 Author: wabash2800 I wasn't aware of a frame change--just the drives.
