True, NP…until I want to paint the trucks the same color as the caboose. [:)] I had considered though.

Why the issue with the center screw on the coupler box? The center screw hole has an integral sleeve to prevent squeezing the box (andso binding the coupler swing) when using the center hole for mounting, so there would be no way to short through the coupler. Am I missing something?
Duh! [D)] Thanks for pointing the obvious out, Mark. [:D]. The coupler is indeed insulated:
I’ll still need to shorten a pair of 2-56 screws so that they don’t bottom out in the hole.

Got the Kadee #58s on 'er:
I had already cut down four (4) brass 0-80 x 1/4" screws to length so I just used those to secure the Kadee coupler box to the underside of the body.
It made its maiden voyage around the layout earlier this evening. Should look really nice once it’s painted and detailed - whenever that will happen.
