No narrow gauge east of Denver? Guess you Colorado guys never heard of Tweetsie, Huckleberry, Hesston just to name a couple. Yes, we were aware of the car, went up and looked it over, took a lot of measurements, and determined it wasn't suitable for our curves. We've got a couple of 120-140 ft radius curves and the overhang on those curves put couplers OUTSIDE the rail. We wanted to stay with knuckle couplers, not convert to link & pin to gain the swing room.
