Yeah 
Couplers came in the mail today, but in order to mount them have to make a small notch in body ends and trucks need to be moved in a bit to clear the swing of the trucks........so some minor engineering will commence will photo what needs to be done but on the plus side the chassie puts the coupler height darn near perfect with the coupler height gauge 
What started out as a simple truck swap has turned into serious kitbash project 
more fun than a shake the box kit but not quite as trying as a craftsman kit I went with kadee #803 On3 couplers.
