How do you modelers that use Kadee coulpers deal with the trip pin?
I bought a couple of packs of the #158 scale couplers to experiment with. I am in the process of weathering them and will be using some sort of pick for uncoupling.
Given the fact that I will not be using any magnets to uncouple the cars,I am thinking or cutting off the trip pin and replacing it with air hoses made by Cal-scale which get attached to the side of coupler pocket.
How do you handle this? Your input is appreciated.
