Converting older cars:
The
replacement in older units is also very
simple.
For example see steps 1-4 below, that show the conversion process
that can be done using
either #503 or #504 kits:
Step
1.
First define
the correct coupling shaft. If our part number 85503 KKD is too large
you can use part number 85504 SKD.
Now you have to create enough space on the base of the car. It might be
required that you have to mill a plane cut out. Make sure there is
enough space in height for the axle.

Step 2.
If this has
been completed, the motion link box should fit in (as shown on the
picture)
Now you can fit in the coupling system.

Step
3.
Now you place the motion link box into the cut out you have made
before. Insert the NEM coupler pocket on to the motion link (blue
coloured on the picture). In the packing box of the set P/N 85504 SKD
you will find a gauge, to be used as coupling head, to adjust the
coupling system. The cinematic is correctly adjusted when the two cut
outs on the gauge are resting on the track and the gauge touches the
buffers. At this time you can glue the link bock on to the car. |

Step
4.
After the blue
is hardened, you can assemble the cinematic. The picture shows you how
it should look like.
Bear in mind, that the exceeding fixture pins needs to be cut off.
