If you convert all your cars to kaydees wich is what I plan to do some day. Just remove the nuckle that is rivited on. It is easaly removed. Then place the kaydee box and coupler there. One screw will hold it. Do a kaydee car conversion search on here. Some one I forget who posted how to have truck mounted kaydee couplers for us guys with small layouts and tighter curves. I am going to switch all my rolling stock over as the kaydees make switcing cars more fun and realistic. Plus you dont need exspencive uncouping tracks every time a car need uncoupled. I too have had issues with the menards couplers. I just remove the truck replace with mth or lionel. Wich ever one works and save the menards for the day I start converting.
