So, I just received my Weaver Iroquios Beer cars. They are very nicely done but they are fit with couplers that are smaller than the ones supplied on most 3 rail equipment. I haven't tried them with every other brand but they won't fit my K-Line cars and fit MTH cars only by lifting and sliding them together with some force. This is the first time I have had a problem like this. Anyone else notice this on recent Weaver equipment? The older stuff works fine.

Did you, perhaps, get the two-rail version of the car?
like this
Its a three rail car. Thumb tack couplers and fast angle wheels. Alan has pictured the problem I have with K-Line cars. MTH barely fits. It won't couple normally with both cars on the track regardless of make. Weaver tells me they have not changed their coupler but I don't recall having a problem with their other cars and I have a few dozen of them.
