My Athearn triple set of Go Train cars doesn't seem to accept replacement magnetic couplers well. The plate covering the coupler is catching the top of the end-sill groove under the coupler shank, causing the couplers to bind & point sky-ward, and I can't get them to match the height gauge reliably. I tryed making new plates that didn't enter the end-sill groove, but it seems these plates have a function to hold the body down on the chassis - as now the bodies are sitting tilted. Also, my set had no exploded-view/parts list from Athearn (something I always thought was good) so I'm reluctant to dismantle these cars for fear of breaking off some tab holding it together.[?] <br /> <br />Anybody else had this problem with these (admittedly excellent) commuter cars and come up with a neat solution?
