Hi, All; I just received a set of Lionel RailChief cars, 6-51201. There were no instructions. Included was a traditional-sized coupler for the lead car, but I was wondering: Did they also have / sell a "scale-sized" coupler to go with the scale Hudson remake as well? Does anyone have a URL for a set of instructions? Google was no help in that regard, nor was the Lionel website.
Thanks!

Carl,
I own this set, and it only came with the dummy O gauge slip-in coupler. I really wish they made a scale coupler, too, for those who wanted to run it with the original but didn't have the money for an original Rail Chief set.
The problem I have with is not so much the manual not being available on Lionel's website, but if you lost this coupler, there is no replacement part available. For some reason, mine got lost, and I had to make a new one myself. It does the job, but I wish I had the original one.
Thanks, Thomas. Was really hoping they had a scale coupler, but at least I have the coupler! I'm just too lazy to swap-out my reissue Hudson's scale coupler and figured I'd just haul the RailChiefs with it. Oh well...
