All -- I never said or did any such thing. I love the slack action of the 802/808. There are very few things I like better than starting a long freight and watching (and listening to) the slack being taken up car by car as the loco moves out.
I do not, however, like the Kadee 802/808 centering spring. It is too stiff, therefore making cabeese bob forward and back as the train proceeds. I use extra knuckle springs for centering springs. Kadee has admitted in writing that their centering spring may be too stiff, but so far they've done nothing about it. This is probably the fourth year in a row in which I have posted this solution. But hey, I realize that everyone's post looks just as authoritative as everyone else's, so I get it...

It was explained to me, but I haven't tried that idea to date. Bill [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
