Atharn RTR and KeDee coupler mis-match.

I have found that the frame mounted coupler box on Athearn cars do not always fit up tight against the bottom (weight) of the car. Another problem is the weight may be bowed and pushes the coupler box down/up, depending on the direction of bow. I have gone to mounting the weight internally in the car, adding more to NMRA standards and cutting off the Athearn coupler box and replacing with the Kadee boxes shimmed down to the proper height. However, of all the kits out there, Athearns have the worst problem with this. One of the reasons I don't care for RTR!
