Learning different Skills For Different things for Model Railroading =ALL Good👍

Thanks for showing the Kadee couplers. I had never heard of those. The snow came off pretty easily. I never looked that close at the cars to see the different ways they attached. This is interesting Ken. Thanks for showing that. That is joyful to see then hook up! I think it's great to see each of them hook on to the back. You'll never have to mess with those cars again! Darn, the cars fell over. You gave it a try. Thanks for this video Ken. It was fun to watch. I look forward to the next one with another engine to pull it.

Nice to see you are back having fun with your trains.

Ken und wieder ein super Video gemacht einfach Spitze 👏🏻👋🙂🤗🙋‍♂️

Hi Ken looks like there is a problem with the track where the derailment happened. I could see the green car shaking every time you added a car. Hope there was no hazardous chemicals involved with that derailment. 🤣 In my younger days I built a large layout in large room. When came time to move I tore it all down and packed it away in boxes where it has been for the last 40 years. Now I spend my retirement years restoring old radios.

Great to see someone showing so much joy with the hobby love your videos .look forward to the next one .

Well I've be,,,I'm a 40 year carpenter and a 35 locomotive engineer. I knew there's was a reason I like yah

Such a nice hobby for your off times. Always something to putter with.

Goodby Rapido couplers and hello magnetic couplers! You need to place the magnet under your track. Backing over the magnet will unhook the coupler. If your coupler heights are off they will uncouple also. Take a scotch bright and a little rubbing alcohol and clean your track.

In answer to your question, "Yes they can!" 😊 . . . "They can make it up the hill."

Glad you were able to get 13 cars with two locomotives! Congratulations on a new record for you.

Nice to see you having so much fun with this set up. Lots to learn, right?

Lightest cars on end. Wish I lived closer to you, id love to help out.

As you get farther down the rabbit hole in model trains, you can buy Kaydees for passenger cars, the other thing is metal wheels roll so much better than plastic, and weights in the cars help, I can pull 35 cars but the locomotive struggle’s

Good to see you enjoying yourself in the off month ❄️🥶

Great to see you enjoying your creation! For newbies like me, this will be very helpful moving forward. Cheers

Kadee 505 for your passengers cars . If you buy passenger cars that are streamlines need kadee 508. Go to a hobby store near you you also need a tool to bend to the the rod that hang down.

If you try and don't succeed,try,try again,ha ha 😅😊💜

Love trains. My first was a wooden one carved and built by my grandfather.i had 3 trains growing up.passed down to grand kids and now 3 of my great grand kids have them. Such a blessing to see played with . Old memories. Love to watch you being a kid again✌️🇺🇲

Kadee makes products for many of your problem cars. You may want to make them body mount instead of truck mounted.

Hi Ken, been following you fot a few videos. Recommrnd you review a vidro from Ron at Classic Model Trains: "Tune up that cheap rooling stock. Less than $8.00 to make em run like a High End car!". He covers weight, couplers, body mounts and wheels. He also has one on tunning passenger cars. Note: he has videos on other model railroading subjects you may enjoy. "Keep Having Fun!"

You have to body mount all your couplers on your cars. Plus you need to buy a height gage when you install the couplers on the cars.

Well Ken as they say try try again and I know you will set the record with twelve cars 😮😊❤

Still, a great job Ken

You can get Kadee 232 Draft Gear box and Lid that will allow you mount the couplers to the body of the car, especially the passenger ones that you like. All you have to do is glue the boxes to the body. You might also want to invest in a Kadee cuopler height gauge to amke sure your couplers are the right height and prevent accidental uncoupling.

Great let’s see it 👍

Invest in some magnetic screw drivers. Will make a huge difference!

The magnetic system requires a coupled magnetic metal plate. You need a system for the magnetic Also it may be time to clean the trucks on your engine. The wheels will build up carbon and will need to be cleaned.

Ken come to Chicago and blow this snow away please.

i have used the Kadee couplers before and loved them, they worked with the originals so the ones you cant change should work good with the Kadee. yes the weights matter a lot, also the alignment, should be a standard for the height of the coupler from the track but some car actually get lifted up if they are not weight right and then the flange of the wheel jumps over the track, cause coupler is a lil low. Reason you get a kick, cause modelling is like real, you want it to be almost real and coupling is a real thing really done

You might need some tweezers to handle those tiny screws. 😮

Be confident my friend you will get figure out...😎

Thought KD had a number of different styles to fit different manufacturers.

Patience my Friend Never Rush Working on Rolling Stock.

Look at your engines coupler. Odds are it’s not moving enough as the coupler box is not allowing it to sway as it’s fitted to the body of the engine.

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I still think they will make it but perhaps not going fast LOL!!

When Coupling Or Installing Couplers Check your Car Height see which Car Is Higher Than Other and There Ya Go.

i think the problem why not hooking is out of lvl to each other but as you already got the kade that is us kind go for it.🙂

Runaway Train !!

Needs a garage

Ken i’ve call them bogeys most of my life magnetic screwdrivers help

put engine in middle also
