Converting Hartland caboose to bachmann couplers ???

[rperego]

Any ideas about the best way to convert Hartland couplers to Bachmann?

What I've currently done is put Bachmann trucks on the Hartland car but it isn't wonderful because I had to shim the truck away from the body to avoid the wheels hitting the underside which in turn required another washer so the screw wouldn't tighten down on the truck.  It works but the car rocks too much being the post isn't the right size for the hole in the Bachmann truck.

Is doing some sort of mod. to make a bachmann coupler fit the Hartland truck a better way to go?

Thanks, Bob
