I have a N scale GP- 40  #3500  and it needs to have the couplers intalled.  I would like to change from the knuckle couples and go with  a coupler that will work with the magnetic decouples on the track.  Any suggestions.

If this is a Bachmann loco, this is what Micro-Trains recommends if you use their conversion kits:

Bachmann Diesel EMD GP-40 (w/ #9722-1 long shank coupler assy) Use: 1134 (001 33 031)
Bachmann Diesel EMD GP-40 (w/ split 1 pc. draft gear box) Use: 1129 (001 30 013)
Bachmann Diesel EMD GP-40 (w/ diecast draft gear box) Use: 1128 (001 30 012) or 1129 (001 30 013)

The number in parens is MT's new part number, the 11xx is the old one.

If at first you don't succeed, throw it in the spare parts box.
