That looks 100% better!
How about removing the thumb tack now? or does that affect the operation of the knuckle?

Thanks Doug, Removing the thumb tack is easy and I have done it on other cars. These couplers have a tab on the side so they can still be opened by hand. Its just down on my priority list right now. Next step is decorate and populate the interior.

These cars are a hobby in themselves. Other than a few more UP cars to fill out my train I doubt I will be going down this path again.

The ex Weaver cars that Lionel is doing have the same type of coupler, just not on a kinematic mount. The thumbtack was removed simply by drilling out the rivet that holds it to the arm. ex Weaver car on the left.
