I have converted two of my new railcar purchases from standard to long shank couplers. Previously they despised my 18" curves. One was considerably under weight as well but fixing the weight while it did help the long shank couplers were the difference makers.
Besides making my trains longer is there a reason for me to avoid long shank whisker couplers? They seem to trail just fine but maybe on my rotary snowplow they will not shove as well?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
