How-To-Guide: NEM+

Converting older cars:
The replacement in older units is also very simple. Example (as provided by Ribu-Rietze) see steps 1-4 below, that shows the conversion process, using either #503 or #504 kits:

Step 1
First define the correct coupling shaft. If our part number 503 (85503 KKD) is too large you can use part number 504 (85504 SKD). Now you have to create enough space in 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.
