>> Jerry P. built a Kaslo caboose for me (he did a beautiful job, I might add). He told me it was designed for 802s, but I had sent #5s so we went with them. The #5s are way too short in the shank for this car. Again, it is really obvious.

Tom....Please note that the #5 family of Kadee couplers comes with many different versions including long shank, short shank, etc., etc. Using the correct coupler version will solve the problem. No need to be "too short".
