Thomas knuckle coupler conversion

[rvcmrr]

Would anybody know how I could convert our RR Clubs Thomas the Tank to a knuckle coupler, so we can pull our club train around during open houses. Thank you.

Ive sucsessfully completed that conversion and its really easy, i used kadee #5s with their coupler boxes. first remove the old hook and loop couplers, then and this is the hardest part, you have to file down the peg part that the couplers were screwed into just enough to bring the coupler to propper hight. then after that all to be done is screwing on the new kadee couplers and boxes and youre done. i finish thomas annie and clarabel in under half an hour and they work great.
good luck
