Ill see what I can do. It might be hard to see with a camera. It was only the last run they did of the cars 2 years ago. Specifically the ones that came with blackend wheels. Any of the cars I looked at from years previous which had the steel looking wheels had adjustable sideframes which eliminated this problem, or they jsut didnt have the problem period.

Yup. I got finally p**sed off at them enough that I ripped off all the factory coupler boxes and body mounted Kadee #28's, problem solved.
