1. Felt that lime green was inappropriate? ("But... lime green? really?? lol.") EMD thought that lime green was pretty cool and painted all of F unit cabs that I've been in that color and I've been in a few.
I guess they just looked really bright to me, not so much like what's in the pics you posted.
3. Did not use the Kadee coupler adapter pockets provided? Being the delighted owner of two brand new MTH CGW F3 As, I was able to use them and they provide good, close coupling plus they'll accommodate sharper curves since they're truck mounted.
Well, I did use the provided kadee mounts on the fronts of the units, which worked really well (although these are fixed pilots). There are no such mounts on the rear of the units, however, hence the 3d printed coupler mount. Are you saying your units had kadee mounting provisions on the rear of the units as well?
