some of the inherent problems with truck mounted couplers is that derail a lot easier, the photo is my answer to the problem , mine are extra close coupled but you would have to figure out what you would need for the coupler pad mine are .060 the strip in the car is .040. this set up will negotiate a 18 inch rad out of a #4 turnout through a double slip. the cars are between 1/8 and 3/16 of a inch apart .
