Loren,
Try the Q Kitch car baggage door rebuilds. The #5 or #58 KDs are to short so
you have to put the extended shanks in. Unfortunately 58s don't have that
feature yet. MAybe I'll put 78s on them.
Don't knock plastic couplers, they give the open-the-boxers something to
complain about. That way they can feel like they are real modelers too!

Gonna add my 2 cents here, Ready to Run? Should say.... Ready to unbuild to
rebuild so the model will run!
Today in this hobby we have so many new models that are very well done. Brass
and plastic. I never thought I'd see a prototype plastic Pennsy B60 baggage
car but I now have 3 of them. They look and run extreamly well... with one
exception. And here's the question, Has anyone had luck with those plastic
"nuckle" couplers? I've found maybe one or two trips round the layout and
they're
trashed. So I replace them before I even put the car on the track. Why not
charge
a buck more and put Kadees on the cars? I was told once "don't try to change
the world"
Happy Modeling!
