[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by cspmo Have you try a plastic screw that comes with KD? Proto uses plastic coupler pocket so no electricity will not be going through it, so it must be the screw. If the coupler is in it's pocket it should be insulated. If it's against the frame then there might be a problem. [/quote] Actually...P2K first run engines had frames almost identical to old Athearns and the couplers mounted to a tab molded into the frame. You simply place a cover over the top of the tab that hold the coupler on, however it appears that something is different with the way these P2K units are wired...apparently (unlike Athearn's) you cannot connect two locos back to back if they have metal couplers. I must say that I am VERY impressed with Life-Likes customer service. Last friday i noticed the axle gears on both my GP-18's were cracked and caused it to make a bumping noise going down the tracks. I called Customer service Friday and the young lady knew exactly what I needed without asking for even a part #! She sent me two sets of complete axel gears and new nickel silver wheelsets to replace the brass ones. I recieved the parts on Monday !!!!
