I've just got some of the Red Caboose 62ft insulated boxcars; and the 'gap' between them looks a bit too big to my untrained eye. If so is body mounting a solution? and any suggestions as to which couplers to use would be much appreciated. I've tried to attach a couple of pictures so hope it works David Milburn (North Yorkshire, UK)
I have several of these and to my eye they do look a little father apart then the ones I deal with every day at work. Kevin
I agree with Kevin they do look a little farther apart than prototypes. Also look like more distance than models: some examples Greg
On the real ones the whole pocket actually slides forward and back as well as the coupler. I think on the model they went for a 'in the middle' look. I have several of these and think they look good and give the impression of the 'cushioned' coupler.
