I have an MTH City of New Orleans car and a Jackson Square dining car.  Both have very small couplers which won’t attach to my standard cars.  Any solution?784F21D6-BB96-420F-AF07-35FB8585FC0D

As information, some manufacturers of the "O Gauge lobster claw couplers" will actually couple quite nicely with those Kadee "O scale" couplers. Plus, the cars will be coupled much closer together, unless you do not have 072 or larger curves.

@S Bakker  That is a European style passenger car you have. I have two sets. Those cars have scale wheels and are unlikely to run on a typical 3 Rail layout.  I have 072 curves and Ross track - they derail every time they hit the curve.  You would need to replace the scale wheel sets with 3 rail sets with the extended coupler, unless you have a 2 rail layout.  Those cars are built to 1:43.5 scale instead of 1:48.  I don't really see a significant difference size wise. However they are far more detailed than the typical Premier cars (IMO) . LMS Cars  They shipped with the Fine Couplers and ACE Couplers neither of which are compatible with the US style couplers.
