Hello all,
Due to the recent rise in interest we intend to make another production run and I’m posting this as a feeler to see if anyone else is interested in acquiring Datum Precision coupler boxes. The “Datum Precision Coupler Box” was last available recently in December and before that was 8 years prior. If you aren’t familiar with this product, it is a metal box that was developed by Ted Doskaris and is one of the main components to the many Kadee adaptations he has made to his mostly Aristo-Craft locomotives. If you would like more info, he has thoroughly documented them on Greg Elmassian’s website.
Features:
- Applicable for Aristo-Craft: GP40, SD45, Dash-9, RS-3, E8/9 and the RDC for mounting Kadee centers couplers with potential for other applications
Meant for operational use on locos pulling long, heavy trains with commensurate drag
-
Non flexing, strong metal box made with 6061 type aluminum, CNC Machined including 2-56 screw thread for lid mounting
-
Black anodized finish
-
Tighter tolerance restricts up and down coupler wobble to a bare minimum
-
Accepts Kadee couplers that include the new “G” scale AAR E type centerset coupler from the 907 Kit
-
Accepts Kadee plastic lid and centering springs
-
Each set comes with the proper washers required to use either of the Aristo Locomotives listed above. A bracket will need to be fabricated by the installer when installing on the Aristo E8/9
We would be selling the pair for $40, reflecting today’s costs, plus shipping. For bulk orders of 30 or more pairs, we can discuss over the phone about bulk pricing.
