Hi: I understand from this list that some Bachmann cars have two-level coupler boxes which make it possible to adjust the height of the coupler to match either Bachmann's HO scale height or the On2 scale height of couplers used by other On30 manufacturers. Apparently, the Bachmann steel hopper has the two-level coupler. I'd like to know what other Bachmann cars have the two-level coupler box.
Thanks.

According to an old posting on a different list, Bachmann's On30 steel hopper "comes with couplers at the HO height but they are easily convertible to 26” in about ten seconds. You simply loosen a screw and remove the coupler cover, remove the coupler, loosen the spacer and install the coupler in the higher position for perfectly working self-centering couplers at either position." I don't have this car, so I haven't tried it.

So here are my questions to Bachmann: (1) Is this information about the couplers on the steel hopper correct? (2) Will this kind of coupler arrangement be standard on future On30 models? (3) Will future releases of older models have these couplers? (4) Will models with these couplers be identified in some way so that consumers can know what they are buying?
