<p>Hi everyone. This is my first posting.</p><p>My question is my subject line. I'm starting in the hobby and am standardizing all my rolling stock. I'm attracted to the #1 scale coupler because of it's close-to-prototypical size but after buying a few pairs I'm finding I'm having to do alot of modifications to get the coupler to mount correctly and at the right height. It seems it would be easier to go to G gauge coupler (#830) because they are more readily installed on the rolling stock I have. Also, since I'm operating outside I have concerns about track alignment causing #1 coupler trouble with trains breaking apart and such, the coupler face being so small. Is this a real concern to have?</p>
