Bob, Glad to hear you are getting work! The Soo Line kit looks great, but
those HO Kadees are either sagging real bad or it is the angle of the photo?
I've heard this is common with Kadee "standard size" MKD 5 & 10 (?) I guess
some kind of shim is needed to level them up. Have you tried String boB's
Walther's Proto Max couplers, he sent me some awhile back they are real nice. I
still use mostly the 802/808's.
