Jim. Kadee IS the Model company’s name they make all kinds of Model parts for different scale Railroad models. I don’t know the name of the real coupler name. I’m sorry I didn’t explain it better.Thanks Lee
I thought that Kadee Couplers were the name give to the real thing. I didn't think they were a model company. I'll have to Google them

Yes I’m finding this out I knew it for years but just never tried it.These American box cars make great canvasses for endless weathering projects. Very subdued compared to some I’ve seen.
Thanks Tim. I’ve know about the American one but not the others. Not to get of topic a bit but a couple years ago I delivered to the old American Car and Foundry co. in St. Charles Missouri. This is where a lot of railroad cars and parts were built.I’ve always known them as knuckle or buckeye couplings…but apparently they are called Janney couplings….have a look here.

Thanks for the complement John. I’m not that good but I appreciate it. I’ll have another one soon done and I’ll post it.You certainly have the nack for this weathering Lee. Very realistic indeed .
