Quick Overview

FOR CENTER OF CAR CUSHIONING, 20" TRAVEL

NEVER BEFORE MOULDED DRAFT KEY DETAIL!!!

When car builders built center of car cushioned underframes, they used proprietary designed "draft gear" housings. No matter which cushioning device was specified by the customer the sliding sill and carrier design were unique to the car builders. These draft gear designs were very obvious when looking at the end of the car. Used on cars that had sliding center sills and 20" travel cushioning, eg. boxcars, gondolas, coil cars, and flat cars.

NOTE: KIT DESIGNED FOR KADEE WHISKER SERIES COUPLERS, ALL STYLES.
