There are at least three variations on the 52-62 knuckle coupler: 6A with hole, 6B with slot for retrofit to link, 6C no hole or slot
I only pay attention to this when restoring an otherwise near perfect car with a damaged coupler. I have also noticed some are more rounded while others seem to square off. (Obviously I had a lot of time on my hands when I noticed this!) --- Nick At 04:03 AM 12/21/2002 +0000, you wrote: >________________________________________________________________________ > >Message: 15 > Date: Fri, 20 Dec 2002 16:15:44 EST > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Re: American Flyer Uncouplers > >Excluding prewar; >1.
