I found my Walthers cars (I have a set of Superliners and a set of C&NW bilevels) had the stock E-Z Mate couplers mounted slightly too high, but when I fitted Kadee #5s or #58s they turned out to be the right height. I think the pockets are engineered to take into account the thickness of the brass spring on the Kadee, and a little space to allow free movement, and leave the coupler at the right height. <br /> <br />I've not yet tried any of their Budd or PS streamline cars so can't comment on these, but suspect the situation may be the same. I was very close to buying one of the C&NW PS sleepers and a lighting kit (as the start of a consist) in my LHS recently, but they only had the "Late" paint scheme (which wouldn't match the Erie-Built it would be running with) so I've still not bought any!
