USRA Carmer
Coupler Releases
A common feature of
the USRA car designs produced in 1918-20 was the use of Carmer
coupler releases. These levers are the correct equipment for 25,000 USRA 50 ton
single-sheathed box cars, 24,500 USRA 40 ton double-sheathed box cars, 500
double-sheathed ventilated box cars based on the DS box car design, and 25,000
USRA 50 ton composite gondolas. Additionally,
many more cars were built to the same designs subsequent to the end of the USRA
control, and some of these cars also were equipped with Carmer
coupler releases.
Included
in the package are 8 etched brass operating levers, 8 lift levers, and 8 styrene
NBW moldings to equip 4 freight cars with Carmer
releases.
