I use Kadee couplers which are the standard for G scale train items. I have also seen Kadee couplers on O scale and HO scale trains. They really work well and I have virtually no problems whatsoever!
that's amazing! i just bought my first large scale engine, its a sd70 mac by usa trains i cant wait till i get it in the mail. who knows someday i might even have a Big Boy. thanks for the great video.
@jbhuse These cars are coming off a very sharp S curve. And so yes, there is a tendency for the hopper cars to want to tip over. But if the train is going a constant speed through the S curve and there is even tension on the couplers, the train will make it through with no problem. But I am shocked at how much preasure is on those couplers. If you pull all 116 cars with your fingeers, it is almost impossible!
great train

Did any of the cars want to tip over when you went around a corner?
