Yea, even though I'm shooting 1870-1890 myself (which means some cars would have link and pin), i've decided that the world moved ahead in 1869 and put automatic couplers on every car by then. I would hate to have to handle them in the yards. <br /> <br />Only thing I would even consider maybe having them on, is my passenger cars, but then i'd have a conversion boxcar up front to link the engines to the cars and to allow freight to be moved as well. <br /> <br />Jay.
