Description In typical teething trouble fashion, the first run didn't start without a hitch. By the time I arrived on the scene, the crew was having some trouble coupling up #7. The big issue, was that Coach 105's coupler is considerably lower than the locomotive's. The problem comes down to the fact that 105 is tilted to one side, due to the springs on the truck being very old and weak.
Seems that some repair is in order.

#3 was also having a coupler issue too later that day.

I'm not even joking. However, it wasn't the caboose coupler acting up, it was #3's.
