Something's not right here

That is the TS-162 adapter, there isn't one that drops lower than that.  You may have to fashion it to fit... good thing they are only $1.25.

Thanks for the documentation and the comment.

"fashion it to fit"????  It needs to be a good 1/4" lower.

$1.25???  Obviously you didn't buy yours from the MTH parts booth at York!   I would have loved paying ONLY that much!

It's going to need some creative bending.

$1.25???  Obviously you didn't buy yours from the MTH parts booth at York!   I would have loved paying ONLY that much!

 The Train Tender has them for $1.25, they're $1.50 at a lot of other parts dealers.

Can't help you with displacement Walt but being an avid follower of your saga I did discover the source of your problems. It's that green snake in the background. Clearly it keeps BITING you.

Hang in there!

Can I just ask the obvious here....

Why do you want to pull the blue comet cars with an MPC locomotive?

Didn't you read his other post?

I don't.  It was just a test to see how the part worked, since I'd never had or seen one before.

I couldn't try what I think I will use it for because I don't have a working tin-plate engine right now.

What I want to use it for is to have my tin-plate engine/tender, possibly with some tin-plate cars in tow, drag around 5 "knuckle coupler" gons that I use to create a candy train for the kids.  When I know some are coming I'll hook up the gons.  When none are coming, no gons.
