Hi folks, newbie tinplate guy here !

I read somewhere here that other guys just bend the coupler up or down to connect a x600 car to a x800 car.  Question I have is since I don't want to bend anything, does some one make a coupler tab that sits lower for the 800 to 600.  Or one that sits higher going from 600 to 800 ?

If not, then maybe someone should...

Thanks,

Mike

Mr P,

   In actuality the different size cars were never meant to couple together, at one time my Father designed and had the Union Switch and Signal machine shop make a few transition step down coupler pieces for us kids to use.  Unfortunately we lost all 5 of them down thru the years.  Unless you want to re-adjust them like I do, couple the correct size cars together with each other.
