    Hey all, does anyone have any experience or know of a shortcut to removing the couplers in the new trainworx 52' gondolas or the newer quad hoppers? The screw is semi accessible in the quad hoppers but is totally buried in the gondolas. Seems like you have to break apart the whole underframe just to get to the screw that holds the coupler box in place. Maybe I'm missing something?
    Kinda sucks to have them mounted this way. Lets hope you never break the MT coupler or you'd be out a whole car!

    Ouch. I don't own any of these specific TW cars, so have not seen this trouble.
