Hey all, I just received another new wood side billboard reefer made by MTH.
This is the second MTH reefer I've received that has what I would call "Coupler arm wobble" for lack of a better term. New out of the box the couplers appear to hang down towards the track at the coupler and are very loose.
The screw mount is slightly too long. When the shouldered truck mounting screw is tight there is still a gap between the shoulder on the screw and the truck bolster. I guess you could add another washer if you had one tiny enough but I elected to cut off about 1/32 of the plastic screw mount. this allowed the truck screw to engage the truck before bottoming out.
File this away for future use.
Mark
