Guess I am in the same boat as to how (even) the new version works. Seems to me I once heard a problem with the cars coupling up to the bumper post, I think it had something to do with the springs or the buffers not retracting far enough into the housing to allow the cars to couple. ??? I believe I have all the newer operating hoppers that Lionel introduced , plus a few of my original N&W hoppers. At one time I had hoped to have two or three ramps side by side, but I don't have enough room to do so, one will suffice.
