CAPPilot - If you close the coupler (bad one), and you look at the inside lower left corner of the pocket from the underside, you will notice that the base of the coupler is not completely flush with the base of the coupler housing when closed. It's easy to compare the 2, old and new. I did the inside of the hinge as opposed to the outside and I dremmeled the non recessed piece and now my Cupolacam caboose works perfectly. No more forcing the coupler to the left with eventual derailment and they mate with barely a push of the caboose to any of my tenders or older cars.
For the PS-1 Friendship, I ordered 6-14078 to try and also 6-12843. I am pretty sure 6-14078 will work on the PS-1 box car, but the Cupolacam caboose and the Flat tire NYC Box car both need the track power circuit and for that I am waiting on Lionel to get back to me.
