Hi John, I spent the earlier part of the week photographing several of
DesPlains's gondolas and I installed Kadee's on some of the cars. There
is what appears to be a continous metal sheet between the wood floor and
the outside plastic floor. Therefore there is not much 'meat' for the
coupler screws to grab. I tried to drill into the metal sheet but it
must be hard steel and didn't drill very well. Because I used the Kadee
coupler, I used their screws after cutting them off a bit. Although the
plastic floor is thin the coupler seems to hold well enough.
I have the Milwaukee peek-a-boo car and one other conventional
version (CNW) and am very happy with their weight and overall appearance.
