Wayne,
You can convert to the normal 3 rail knuckle coupler by adding a postwar coupler adapter plate to each end.
Either cut off the old Scout coupler or just turn the truck around so the old coupler faces inward, and then install the adapter plate by bending the tabs around the axles.
You might find a new plate at a parts dealer, or just remove the plate from any postwar metal truck.

Stan Orr makes the parts to convert it. However, you could also ground down the coupler.
