Is there a designated Micro-Trains conversion for the heavy mountain?  This is a beautiful model, but the factory-installed couplers are ridiculously toy-like, and they're mounted way too low by NMRA standards, so they come uncoupled under any measurable draw weight.  I'm dyin' to get this baby converted so I can enjoy it's beauty!  Meantime, it's under glass.

I can't answer for your loco, but I ran into the same problem with my
Spectrum 2-8-0.  The M-T 2004 coupler has an offset shank that did the trick for me.  It raises the coupler about 1/2 the height of the coupler from their 1015/16.
