I had a problem on a club layout with the lead loco pulling the trailing unit off the track. The couplers did not have enough travel and would pull the loco or a long following (anything over 50' ) car off the track. [/quote] Kadee couplers or horn hooks? Coupler swing issues are a function of car length only, not wheel base or wheel arrangement. You may need to modify the coupler pocket to allow for the tighter curves. [/quote] KD makes over 40 different couplers and conversion kits/brackets for many-many different applications that also allow for greater coupler lateral extended swing and permits the negotiation of 18" radius curves such as the 453/454 close coupling swing brackets.
