[quote user="7j43k"]I am having my doubts about using any kind of locking coupler between passenger cars.  I expect I will be doing the uncoupling via 5-finger, and I want a straight vertical lift.[/quote] The special tool does work, but the standard length E's on the walthers heavyweights combined the diaphragms cause uncoupling to be difficult (diaphragms prevent slack, or rather push the slack back in.  I was only able to reliably uncouple on corners.  I've purchased a pack of the tailor-made E type couplers for the walthers heavyweights, and will report results on Walthers, Branchline and Atlas.
