Well here is a small update and a question for others who model On30.
First an update, the couplers look good and I have ordered some more couplers and some extra springs(both centering and coupler springs) still need to order more trucks.
Now the question, is all On30 squipment compatible??? I ask because the mounted couplers match up well with the coupler height gauge but are way to high to mate with the loco I have(a Bachmann 2-6-0) it also seems that it has an HO coupler where I used an On3 coupler
Has anyone ran in to this before? the way I see it is to modify the tender body or raise the height of the tender from the trucks neither of which sounds right.
