SBS4DCC N Scale Kato Pickup Contact Connector Strip - N-KATO-PU-CONN

The Original SBS4DCC Wheel & Axle Wipers

REINTRODUCING... The Original SBS4DCC Wheel & Axle Wipers

This product is perfect for use in making sound cars, adding interior lighting to passenger cars and cabeese.  The contacts are suitable for use with DC or DCC power supplies. Best of all, since they are track powered, we now have the ability to add function decoders to our cars to control interior and marker lights. The uses for this contact are endless. Have fun!

Finally. A clean and easy way to power a decoder or interior lighting kit using track power in your freight and passenger cars. YAY! No more batteries.

You can find additional information on using the product at The Original SBS4DCC Wheel & Axle Wiper Application Notes.

I have drastically reduced the number of models I will offer.  What I have learned over the years is that the trucks of nearly every model and manufacturer are different.  Different axle spacing, different bolster design, different this and different that.  I have chosen to reintroduce some basic designs that can be adapted to fit a lot of different applications.

As a bonus, I am also offering the KATO PU CONN once again.  These are basically the same as the contact strips that come in the Kato Light Kits for N scale passenger cars that slide between the floor and pickup strip to make car lighting easy and easily removable.

I have documented the BASIC DIMENSIONS OF EACH SIZE HERE instead of on the product pages.  This makes maintenance of information easier and creates a consolidated location to compare the different models. 

Please don't ask me which one I think you need.  I DON'T KNOW.  I have noted the exact model the wiper were designed to fit and that's all I know.  I don't mean to sound rude about it but you just gotta try it and make it work.  I have shared the full extent of my knowledge here.

This run (Feb. 2015) features a few improvements including...

• More parts! Enough for 10 cars, typical of most kato sets.
• Repositioned tabbing for easier assembly.
• Deeper forming marks for clearer bend line.
