I just purchased an Aristocraft Sierra passenger car set & hooked them to my Bachman 4-6-0 "Annie" and was surprised  that the couplers did not match up. Not only was there a differance in height,[bachman's are lower] but the locking mechanism was slightly different. It seems like they would not click together properly to stay coupled. I think the easiest fix would be to change the bachman coupler to match the aristo's. My question is what brand coupler should I use . I want to stay with the knuckle style coupler. I see some folks use Kadee couplers, is that the way to go? If so what style or number are they? Or any other suggestions, I'm a newbe so I apppeciate the help. Thanks Oz

Hi, I'm a first generation "baby boomer" & electronically challenged so bear with me please. I'm new to the G-scale hobby,& had a few questions about rolling stock. First, do Aristo & Bachman cars look ok hooked together ? Just wondering cause the scales are different. Also, can the top of the stock cars be removed on the Bachman cars to make a trailing battery car, easily I hope ? One more thing I just purchased a "10 Wheeler" "Annie" D&RGW, what a beauty!!!! With no owners manuel, I was wondering how to take the tender & loco apart for future battery r/c install?  Thanks, many more questions comming later I'm sure.
