    Well I wish all MT came with the brown couplers and wheels, to me its more realistic then black, as for the brown trucks I'm gonna guess thats how they were painted so MT molded them that color. They Mold the trucks differant colors occasionaly when it is right.

    HERE HERE!!! There are two improvements witht the Accu Mates. The trip pin is black and the wheels are brown. I am soooo thrilled they are coming out individually packaged.

    I already got a pair of the 1015 Accu Mate's for locomotives and guess what, retail is only $2 for the pair!! Stores with discounts might have them for only $1.75!

    The Atlas Accumates have the same number as their MTL counterparts?
