i would like to add that most if not all rolling stock that is factory equipped with knuckle couplers will have them at the correct height. when you start converting older cars that don't haave knuckle couplers you will start to find their coupler height is off and adjustments need to be made. this is especially true of the older cars with truck mounted couplers. i don't try to use the nmra guage for coupler height, it is better suited to checquing wheel and track guage. the kadee coupler guage is much easier to use.
