It also allows a bit less trouble maintaining a common coupler height. Cars
can have a bit more leeway in their coupler height and still stay coupled.
Often a car can be at the proper ride height but the coupler pad still needs up
or down adjustment, so a slightly taller coupler might eliminate the need to
refine the height.Since these models are expected to run it sometimes makes
sense to facilitate it with slightly oversize parts such as couplers, flanges,
etc. and as these things are what makes trains unique they might add some extra
flavor when they are accented a bit( note the word slightly, I'm not implying
that flyer foot tall flanges and garbage can sized couplers are the way to
go)....DaveBranum
