Rip Van Winkle & the Budds

He just woke up.
When I up-graded to the KD #26, due to diaphram rubbing on my curved switch I never realized
that there was a coupler height problem(“MR, Dec 2001, couplers are mounted at correct height”).

My bench not being too level, I thought was the problem so I changed the loco to an undershank
coupler.

Well Donald looks like I finally climbed the grade but the 2001 semister is long gone.

Unfortunately the KD conversion site recommends a # 26 or # 46.
