    Does anyone have a quick and easy way to convert Kato's 2-bay hoppers to Micro-Train couplers? :confused: The MT trucks will not fit the Kato body. Will I have to body mount the couplers or is there a way to get the MT trucks to fit? Suggestions? Thanks.

    Thanks for the information. It sounds like I will have to buy some Accumate trucks the next time I get to a hobby shop. I bought about eight of these cars, and the thought of body mounting couplers to all of them seems a bit much today.
