Tom, the three axle trucks and couplers on the 80' cars are identical to the ones on the 70' cars. They are completely interchangeable. I guess we could call them talgo mounts.

@AmFlyer posted:
All the cars have coupler arms that were each shortened 1/4”. The set looks much better close coupled like this.

No those aren't the fixed couplers, but rather the regular AM AF knuckle.

How doe the shortening effect the minimum radius? 1/4" is a lot -- that's 1/2" between cars!!!

Right. I installed the six wheel trucks on a couple of coaches I picked up. There are mounting holes for both styles underneath:Changing the trucks is easy-peasy. One of these days I'll get around to repainting them...

Taking the roofs off is not easy-peasy from what I hear. Am I missing something?

I agree, Tom, your layout should be published. It's beautiful.
