I recently attended a train show in Fullerton California and saw that two EK circus G locos had been changed to allow them to be coupled together. I run long trains and have 5 of these locos. They told me that the special couplers to allow this would be out in October of 2007. (They used couplers from another type of G Bachmann loco). When will these couplers be available as parts?
Dear Choochoo,
I don't know which couplers they used, but as far as I know, no new version is on the way...
Have fun!

The problem with these (if they are, in fact, 4-6-0's) is that none are the same.
Not one of the ones I have modified has the coupler in the exact same spot.
I have started using Trackside Details pilots (cowcatchers) of brass, and modify the opening to allow a mount for the coupler (and height) of my choosing.
