Dave, I can't help with the Budd cars, but I own two U25B's painted for
the Milwaukee. The couplers were an easy, usual type mount--either body
or truck tongue. I chose body mount--I might have had to add a spacer.
I did fill in the front opening with just some fitted Evergreen pieces I
then put some reinforcing scrap pieces in back. One engine has my one
and only Sunset/Sunrise/whatever snow plow! That engine is fairly well
detailed. The downside is that the details--stanchions and ladders are
plastic and fragile.

Does anyone have a set of the A-M Budd passenger cars in the Rock
Island scheme. How many were produced, sets, or individual cars. I
am not in the market for such, seems strange that they are "out of
stock''' on the website.
Same question for the RI U25B, mfr's rendition. What work is needed
to completely fill in the pilots for scale couplers; I have heard
there are not the usual body or frame mounted couplers, which seems a
little strange.
