I stumbled onto this thread while scrolling through yesterday; what a great thread! I've always had a dislike for the Hulk hand or lobster claw couplers, even as a kid. I love scale couplers and and the weathering techniques and modeling skills of the various artists throughout all 7 pages. I haven't been very active here for quite some time, but can't believe I missed this thread that's been going for a while. I plan to get into weathering and adding scale draft gear to several 2 bay hoppers I plan to incorporate into a diorama of the Ashley CNJ shop yard, and part of the former Huber Breaker facility. Joe A, the originator of this thread, donated an Atlas die cast 2 bay hopper to the cause, having roots in the area and a passion for the CNJ. I have a growing collection of die cast 2 bay hoppers, and trying to obtain at least one from each of the 5 class 1 roads that serviced Ashley and the surrounding area mines. 

In that case, you’re going to want to read this and how I worked with Ed to design a 3D printed scale draft gear box.
