Question about back coupler in Proto E8/9

I just got 3 SOUTHERN PACIFICBLOODY NOSE E8/9’S ( They are Proto 2000)I installed Kadees but the back coupler is way low. The front is perfect. Has anyone came across this, if so how did you fix it?

Thanks

If you are going to use a 2-56x3/16 threaded screw w/o the nut you may need

I just installed a KD no. 25 with an underset shank which raised the coupler head just enough to match my Walthers and Branchline passenger cars. It was a simple drop in without any hassle.

How about giving us your performance review of this model?

I think it is an extreamly nice model.

  1. Very quiet
  2. Weighs more them my KATO SD90/43MAC
  3. All doors open on CAB - SIDES - BACK (sprung)
  4. Pulls like a horse.
  5. (Most inportant) The front mars light actually works.
  6. Stainless mesh grils
