Kadee coupler question

[Puddlejumper]

When I begin building my layout I am going to go through all of my rolling stock, one car at a time, before I place it in service on the layout. Besides coupler height, one of the things I am going to do is clip the trip pins. The reason is I like plow pilots on diesel locomotives, and have noticed that some cars with trip pins and locomotives with plows just will not couple together. I also don't like the idea of a trip pin catching a rail in a turnout or crossing and causing a derailment from the upper level. The sound of a GP7 hitting the floor from 57" up is not one I care to know.
