I have body mounted the couplers on one of my Bachmann Heavyweight cars. One of the coaches. It was fairly simple once you remove the stock mounting system. Then I just built up the area where the new coupler pocket was to go with some styrene material and glued in a standard Kedee coupler pocket in place and drilled and tapped the pocket so I could use a 2-56 screw to hold the coupler in place. I then installed number 58 scale couplers. When I do the rest of my cars I'm going to use Coach Yards adjustable coupler pockets to make it easier to get the spacing between cars closer.
