Thanks for the welcome and quick answers. This seems to be a very busy place and that's great! <br /> <br />I've seen the IHC interiors and figured that might be the way to go, at $5 a car I figured I'd give it a shot. <br /> <br />The proto wheels look really nice and that should give me a little more weight and a nice sound. <br /> <br />I figured kadee would be the way to go, they've been in the business a long time. Thanks for pointing out that plastic coil springs don't cut it. I have seen varying designs and was wondering something. On the part of the coupler that would go in the draft box I see it can be done several ways. Some couplers just have the shank that goes in and sits in a metal tray and that metal tray provides the "spring action centering". Others have plastic curved right off of the shank and that provides the spring action. Any preference on those? <br /> <br />To answer nfmisso, yes I will have grades and I will haul heavy trains. Kadee is looking like the way to go. <br /> <br />Thanks again.
