“CamPac” 3-D printed direct fit (no spacer) boxes and “S Clip” used for mounting are now available for the AML 4750 cubic foot covered hopper car. The boxes accept Kadee centerset couplers from the Kadee 907 kit.
The "S Clip " has three purposes: (1) It anchors the chassis coupler box mounting pad to the end sill of the car, thereby, helping to prevent chassis separation from the body shell in the vicinity where the trucks mount - susceptible on this car. (2) It’s used as a nut plate to fasten the CamPac BoxTM fitted with Kadee centerset couplers. (3) It facilitates aligning the couplers with the Kadee coupler height gauge.
See “AML PS4750 Covered Hopper CamPac Quick Install Guide”
For more detail, the vignette about this car has also been updated to include the CamPac parts for it.
