CNJ #1601 posted:Thanks for designing these, Mario. I have a pair of Atlas GP7's (powered and non-powered) that I will "3-rail scale" now that you made it so easy!
A couple questions for you or anyone else that have used your pilot coupler pockets and spacers...
1. I see that most items are available in both black and white, and if I'm not mistaken, each color is made from a different material. What are the advantages of each? Does one take paint better than the other? Looking for some real-world experiences/recommendations!
I prefer ordering the strong and Black for two reasons.
1. One Just a little lite sanding then Prime and paint.
2. They don't compress when bolted down.
3 If I need to trim they don't melt using a dremel set a low speed with a cutter. When adapting to MTH and Weaver Pilots( Lionel GP30&GP9)
The White defiantly need to sand. Will soak up the paint, and melt easy when trimming with a dremel

2. Your latest offerings have a version with a closed bottom below the coupler pocket. I'm no expert, but that seems more realistic looking than the one with the opening below the pocket. Again I ask, what are the pros and cons of each design?
Thanks...and please keep up the great work! The long-awaited AtlasO RS3 is finally on its way. I'd love to see you do that one down the road!
You can always fill them in but also take in consideration of the prototype your modeling. Some in real life do have a tooth missing.
