Hi Guys

Does anyone know if this car came with only one operating coupler?

Thanks

I have a 9040 Wheaties boxcar that has 2 operating postwar couplers, but I have no way of knowing if this is origional. This listing on Ebay states that the 9040 Wheaties boxcar has one operating and one fixed coupler.

My Greenburg guide says 1 operating and 1 dummy. A 4th body style had 1 operating and 1 manumatic coupler.
