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.

CSX Transportation ® and its logos are used here with the written permission of CSX Transportation. ® 1 CSXTHS Journal 2013 Vol 2 No 1 NOTE FROM THE PRESIDENT The CSXTHS 2013 Convention was a success in that we were able to visit all the sites scheduled and encountered a number of CSXT trains. Both TTI Railroad and R J Corman Central Kentucky Lines were excellent hosts and took the time to walk us through their yards. CSXT Corbin was gracious to provide an escorted tour for us to view and photograph their locomotive service area. The visit to the CSXTHS Corbin locomotive service area was only finalized the day before our visit. Hopefully all saw a part of CSXT operations that they had never seen before. The 2014 CSXTHS Convention will be headquartered in Pikeville, Kentucky, from Friday, June 6 to Sunday, June 8. We will explore the CSXT Line, ex Chesapeake & Ohio Railway, from Pikeville to Elkhorn City, Kentucky, and the CSXT Line, ex Clinchfield Railroad, from Elkhorn City to Johnson City, Tennessee. The rail tour leader will be Everett Young. The coal industry in the Big Sandy Valley has come upon hard times with many mines closing during 2013. This may be a last chance to see what was once one of the premiere money generating subdivisions of CSXT. A member sent me an e-mail stating that those railfanning CSXT track might want to consider the Hawkins Motel at Baldwin, Florida.
