Sam the Answer Man will only be available after 1:00 p.m. PST Mon-Thu to answer your Kadee® related questions. Sam the Answer Man: #110 February 2016 “SHALLOW DRAFT GEAR BOXES” We attended the Amherst Train Show in West Springfield, MA at the end of Jan. This is one of the biggest model railroad shows and it’s always a good show for us. We’d highly recommend attending if you can. The next show we’ll be attending is the Rocky Mountain Train Show in Denver, CO March 5th and 6th. There’s a couple of things I need to cover this month beginning with the shallow draft gear boxes being used by a number of manufacturers to better fit the plastic McHenry and EZ Mate couplers. Unfortunately, we do not have a coupler that easily fits into the shallow boxes. Most however, will use our Whisker couplers without any problems but there are some that require a thinner coupler shank to fit properly. In this case you need to carefully file the shank of our whisker couplers just a bit thinner to fit into these shallow coupler pockets. There are a few molded on shallow pockets that you can add material to the post and side walls to increase the depth of the box so a standard coupler can fit properly. We can understand the manufacturers reasoning behind making the shallow coupler pocket to reduce the droop of the thinner shank and to some how try to reduce the flex of a thin plastic shank with a tighter fitting pocket. However, they still do not understand that when they make a coupler pocket that does not fit a Kadee coupler properly all they do is upset and alienate most of the modelers that buy their products. It’s their business, however, but they seem to be more interested in their bottom line rather than in customer demand and satisfaction. It seems that the industry had finally progressed to a “near standardized” coupler pocket only to then to “regress” to a shallow non-standard pocket to accommodate their proprietary plastic coupler. Regardless of what other manufacturers do we usually find a way to fit our couplers to almost anything and if there’s “justification” we might even produce a product to fill the need. Another issue that continually comes up is modelers thinking how easy it is to produce a new product or model. They simply have no clue what the tooling time and costs really are let alone what the consumer pricing has to be for cost recovery and possible profit. There are many modelers that have or have had experience in what machining time and costs are and they try to convey that when they can. But still there are many that think the manufacturers can just “whip out” a car or two or a speciality product at anytime. On top of that there are a lot of issues besides the actual tooling time involved. There’s a great deal of research, planning, designing, guess work, cost analysis, praying (when appropriate) long before the tool maker gets the OK to start. Then afterwards there’s assembly, marketing, packaging, new product numbers, inventory, and such. Even what seems to be a simple product still takes a lot more to produce than most modelers can imagine. Now I hope this does not deter modelers from suggesting new ideas and new products but hopefully it helps them understand, at least to a point, what’s really involved in the manufacturing process.
