It has a long shank and looks reasonable. But it will not cooperate with Kadee couplers. Huff 'n Puff makes a dummy metal coupler with a long shank that doesn't even couple to itself. Needs a bit of filing to facilitate a very tight fit. If a drawbar is desired, the H&P couplers would be good candidates for making one. These long-shanked couplers are good for helping a set of permanently-coupled large modern diesels get around sharp curves without having the corners of their pilots touch each other. Ed L.
