Greg I've never had any issues with 072 after close coupling my 4 axle engines. Some of the 6 axle engines had issues when running as an multiple unit consist, but opening up the sides of the Kadee draft gear box solved that problem.

Hey Doug, thanks for replying back, what I should have said was sometime back I heard that once you modified an F3 to a fixed pilot engine, it would no longer run on O-36, O-42.  It had to run on O-60 or better.  I've got about 10 F3's, one I had when I was 2 years old and for lack of knowledge and experience in doing a modification I would be devastated if I messed them up, however I would truly love to beautify it in the most prototypical way, all the hoses and kadees that I could use.  I hope that I clarified my situation a little bit more.  Talk to me !!  It's the smaller radius track that I still want to be able to run on, I would like the flexibility to ride as many radii small to large as I can, my upcoming layout has a little bit of everything and not for long stretches.
