most of the cars i see are TTX. i was thinking about getting UP, but i i never actually see UP stacks, so TTX it is cause that's all i mostly see.

Question for some help. I'm kind of new to G Scale and would love to add this kind of car to my consists, but would like to know what is needed to change the coupler over so it could run with my Arist Craft cars?

I believe, that with some cutting and adapting you should be able to fix a Aristo coupler to this car.
