Hello,
I thought MR had an article on repairing couple pockets on Athearn cushion frame box cars with new Walthers parts. I searched the last year of MR (except the missing August issue) and could not find it. Was this article in MR?
thanks for any help
Hey,
I would skip the Walther's Cushion Coupler Pockets and go with Moloco's, they are foolproof and you have screw assembly, so repairs are easy I have been using them for years and they work great.

Here is an installation I just completed on a RBL I am working on, I removed the caston pockets with the Moloco ACF pockets as this was an ACF produced car.
