I'll be using the Trackside Details coupler pocket which will be bolted to the new metal pilot beam. <br />So with your suggesen on insulating the coupler pocket. I now will include a small sheet of the same card stock between the pocket and beam. Yeah, that'll work. I'll send you a picture of the 4-4-0 when she's done.<br /><br />Chester Louis SA #64<br />Hampshire County Narrow GaugeChesternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948200403167563481.post-8352014006035979802012-09-20T10:38:34.380-06:002012-09-20T10:38:34.380-06:00The coupler pocket is attached to the wood pilot b...The coupler pocket is attached to the wood pilot beam, which insulates it from the heat of the locomotive. Having said that, I think even without that, you should be okay. I've seen plenty of live steamers with Kadee couplers attached to metal pilot beams that seem to hold up well. But if you can insulate the pocket, all the better.
