Always check the coupler heights with either our #205 or newer #206 Coupler Height Gauge. This coupler conversion list is our suggested starting coupler for the conversion. (Typically requiring the least modification to a model utilizing our newest couplers even though other couplers also work for the model). Our conversion’s based on only one model from a production run, there may be inconsistencies in a model’s production run that require a different coupler or model modifications to achieve the proper coupler height for coupler function.

    The MidMid----SouthSouth Flyer Summer 2015 A Publication of the Mid-South Chapter of the Railway & Locomotive Historical Society, Inc July Meeting Woodward Iron RR to be featured at July meeting The Woodward Iron Company Railroad was unique in being a keystone in one of the most com- plete vertically integrated industrial companies in the United States. Over four generations of the Woodward family operated a company that was synonymous with Birmingham as a producer of Woodward #35 with hot metal cars at Woodward Iron Furnace circa 1959 (Tom Lawson collection) “merchant iron” from 1881 to 1973 – the actual beginnings of the Woodward Company predate the beginning of the City of Birmingham. The Woodward Company and its leaders were a strong part of Birmingham’s business community, and its building occupied one street corner of the “heaviest corner on Earth.” Third generation A. H. “Rick” Woodward was perhaps one of the most colorful business leaders in Birmingham, including his owning the Birmingham Barons Baseball team, being the builder of Rickwood Field, and being a “millionaire” locomotive engineer. Mid-South member John Stewart has made a study of the Woodward family’s contribution to Birmingham’s indus- trial development, and John will present his research in a narrated slide program at our July 18 chapter meeting. For the benefit of those not familiar with Woodward, John has provided the following preview of his presentation: Before there was a Birmingham in 1871, the Woodward family began land ac- quisition in 1869 that would lead to a company that produced “merchant iron” in Don’t forget the Birmingham for over 90 years.
