Reply to "Question on an Atlas box car coupler"

I don't own any older Atlas cars and occasionally one comes up on that auction site -but it appears to have couplers like this.  Do these work with the typical O claw coupler? Thanks for input.

As mentioned, these do couple well with the o-gauge coupler. I love these cars; the trucks are about a good-looking as 3RO trucks get. The cars are light, but that's why lead (if you don't want a load) was invented. 

The tooling (I think that the cars were made in Austria in the 60's), which included stock cars, boxcars, gondolas and a reefer/plug-door boxcar I believe, has survived and re-appeared as part of the new Atlas Trainman line.
