I found a old new Spectrum HO Dash 8 40 Santa Fe Warbonnet 834 at a little hobbystore in Tenn that has the old HornHook couplers. I thought it would be simple enough to change them with BachmannEZ mate knuckle couplers long. The trouble is they are positioned far to low and don't line up with rolling stock and the bottom hook is hitting the rails. I need to find a way of raising the new couplers about 3/16 of an inch.
Anyone have any ideas? ???

Problem solved, Bachmann makes a long underset EZ MATE Coupler, works perfect. Midwest Rail in Rockford helped me out with this, when I was about to modify the train for Kadee couplers.

I was hoping it would be something this easy and have the 8pin socket, Thanks.

I really like would like to know if this 2-10-2 Chicago DCC can be converted to DCC Soundtraxx ? A little soldering is not a problem if the design allows it. Please help.

Thanks,
