I was looking through the dicusssion group a couple of days ago and came acrossed a pictorial on how to "trim" a hook horn
coupler so that it would mate to the Bachmann EZmate knuckle.
Now that it looks like I will need it, I can't find it.
Does any one remember it?
Not the one showing all the tools.
Here you go, a good pictorial, courtesy Paul M.

Thanks Bob,
I figure this will make a good project if I get snowed-in. I can take a handful of old hook horn couplers and work on them.
Cheers,
Thanks for the interest.
If you live in Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, or Arkansas, pick up the March/April edition of the Cowcatcher Round-Up. An article I wrote about trimming the horn-hook couplers to make them knuckle-compatible (like the thread) will appear in the 'Workshop' column.

My apology for not including credit for your thread. I believe in giving credit where credit is due, and edited my previous post.
As you know, I have written several detailed tutorials, often requiring a lot of thought and effort. It's rather perplexing when someone else goes to great lengths to answer a question without first doing a search for a previous thread on the topic.
I easily found the thread by entering horn hook couplers in the search box. The search feature is your friend. 8)
I guess that I might as well fess up to my mistake, before someone reads my initial post carefully and realizes why I couldn't find the post myself. I spent several hours looking for how to mate a "hook horn" coupler to a knuckle coupler.
Oh well, that's what getting old does to one.
