Well again I gotta start one of these 
Here is a Mantua Pennys boxcar with US pennies 
Tyco Amtrak coach (I think)
How do you replace broken couplers on these?
A silly idea I had was to replace silloettes(sp) with scenes of murder or silly stuff

 here's an old GN centerbeam! Pretty sure it's Life-Like but it don't matter to me. It'll most likely end up with John. it's part of our trade deal
I buy, repair, and collect

hey buss ...I did a coupler replacement topic a couple of weeks ago...I cant find it though..there is also another repair topic in Tyco or Mantua sections...I grind off the pins...seperate the pockets..install the new coupler and use a Mantua body screw (little bitty ones in the corners) to re-secure it...works good

Rus and Mike,
Thats a Bachmann Chessie caboose. Not that I have more like it, BUT I do have a couple identical and same numbered by Athearn, that might come available, in the very near future, brand new Athearn blue box kits, still in the box, never used, and never assembled!

Many have tried to, and failed, ya just can't repair stupid...
