The only good thing about plastic couplers is painting them a rust colour and placing them in a junk heap on your layout, great detail! Any new models I build that come with any of the so called knuckle coupler replicas, are promptly replaced with Kadee to avoid the certain frustration that will happen, quickly. <br /> <br />PS. I use 4-5 inch lenth of plastic runner/sprue from model kits, file one end to make a 4 sided pioint (similar to a phillips screw driver point), and it works great as a manual uncoupler, any where on the railroad, even curves if you leave some slack between cars. Quite prototypical too!
