Do the BNSF and  TILX  cars have thumb tack couplers?

Hello John. Both the tank cars (TILX) and the covered hoppers (BNSF) have the thumb tack coupler. I guess they still have a big supply of them to get rid of.I thought I heard at one point Lionel was phasing out the thumb tack once the current supply was depleted and going back to the old style.

IIRC it was mentioned here that they are staying with the new unsprung truck design, just making a "tackless" coupler arm for it.
