One one of my first three Athearn locos I ground off so much metal that the tab snaped off when I threaded it. I body mounted the coupler, but that is a b-otch too. You have to glue a pad on the shell, but that's not very strong. And I always had problems with coupler height with that one. But that was before Kadee came out with the undershank coupler and longer shanks.
