I have started converting my Bachmann 1:22 freight cars to Kadee couplers. I am using the 830 body mount coupler.
I am using 10 foot wide Aristo switches and mostly 10 foot curves.
It seems like there is limited truck swing with this coupler. I have tested several cars hooked together on my railroad and they seem to work okay.
Has anyone else used this coupler for these cars and if so, do you think I will run into problems?
I looked at Kadee site and found that the 789 coupler is very similar but with a narrower mounting box. Would that be a better choice?
