@bluelinec4 posted:Funny you mention this as we just had a problem at our Sunday train show A member was running Lionel SD-40s that had a considerably higher coupler than the Lionel hopper cars that he was pulling The couplers were riding up and splitting the train every 50 feet These were all from the same manufacturer not a mismatch across. In the past I had Golden gate depot cars tat were considerably lower than some Atlas engines I had. All of them were brand new and out of the box . The williams 55 ton hoppers are considerably higher than their MTH and Atlas counterparts So I really dont think there is a standard for 3 rail coupler heights They are all over the place
There IS a standard, it obviously isn't followed. Blame those who can't be bothered producing products that match the standard, it isn't new.
