[quote user="nealknows"]To my surprise, you can't change the coupler. They glued it shut! I called and was told that is the way they came. Very disappointed with that car...[/quote] Yep, That's probably my only complaint about intermountain.   If you are careful, and lucky, you might be able to drill out the peg holding the coupler box shut with a 2-56 clearance drill, change the coupler, then install a 2-56 screw.  Ive had mixed results.  I did it with one car.  I will probably get to the others I have.    I had an SD40-2 with a warped truck.  I called and they gave me the option to replace the truck myself or send the locomotive back for repair.  I elected to send it back, and for the cost of one way shipping, the locomotive was repaired.
