I'm guessing Lionel tweaked the coupler tooling. Connected my new PS-2 PRR hopper to an older PS-2 hopper with no issues. Hopefully, Lionel will sell the new couplers so I don't have keep replacing those issue-prone couplers with NOS trucks...

Great to hear and thanks for posting - Looking at the new Central Soya PS-2 covered hopper myself
Also I recently picked up a new B&O I-12 bay-window caboose and the trucks/couplers seem fine 👍🏼
Are the couplers articulated?

I just received mine as well. I agree that the couplers are a major improvement. The couplers are fixed to the truck with no articulation, but that’s really not a problem for such a small car. However, I hope Lionel has learned it’s lesson for the much larger cars with longer couplers such as the 60’ auto parts car.
