Hi Jamie; You are correct, the "Tightlock" is a Type H it appears:

I'm no expert on couplers, large or small, but if my understanding is correct there is a vast difference between a "tightlock" coupler used on passenger cars, and a "shelf" coupler often applied to tank cars. I think "Type E" is the actual name for "tightlocks", but I'd have to check. I seem to remember a Kadee HO shelf coupler being offered. Personally I have no interest in shelf couplers, but I would still take at least 50 pair of tightlocks.
