I'm not building many Athearn freight cars anymore. However, I have always found the Athearn freight cars to have too low of a coupler height. Generally I have ended up putting Kadee's fiberboard washers between the truck and bolster to raise the coupler height. I also never liked the car weight being outside the car. However, this is the best place for it, it is just unsightly. <br /> <br />Do you agree that the coupler height is too low? Also, what do you do to remedy this problem?
