I checked the M-T packaging and they suggest enlarging the hole in the truck bolster using a 9/64" drill bit, so that it fits over the Bachmann pivot. They say to use the original screw to hold it on, so the only thing you do is open up the bolster hole. I am going to try this, but I worry about the wall of the truck's bolster getting too thin and breaking. <br /> <br />I do not want to end up with a handful of Bachmann's with body-mounted couplers mixed into my standardized fleet. The thing is, though, I think some of the Bachmann stuff is worth the effort to salvage, especially their covered hoppers (I'm a covered hopper freak, I have to admit). I don't want to forgo their Wabash, B&O, and Penn Central roadnames, since these are on-target regional lines for my northern VA Norfolk & Western layout. <br /> <br />You mention "more recent" equipment; have they changed anything in the last few years? All of my stuff is at least ten years old.
