Pre War question
Posted by alcofanschdy on Thursday, January 26, 2017 4:39 AM

I have a chance to pick up some prewar rolling stock with the box and hook type couplers. However one is missing a hook.  Will that make a difference, does each car have to have a hook or would one be enough to keep the cars together. Thanks

I have a few cars missing a hook and have no problems with them.
