(erielack) Rapido cars revisited



Life is never simple.
 
I forgot to add that the underbody contours at the car ends are different on
the Youngstown sleepers versus the coaches. On the sleeper, the short Kadee
couplers hit the base of the diaphragm/buffer structures and even a filing
of the top of the Kadee knuckle did not remedy this. So I left that little
lip on the top of the Kadee draft gear box, giving enough of a cant to the
coupler that it clears and pivots freely.
 
No one will notice.
