hello gentelmen and ladies, im new around here and took a stab in guessing this was the place to ask my question (so please don't get mad if its not).
I have a four pack of roundhouse brand 3 bay hoppers that came factory equiped with rapido couplers but had MDC couplers included, can any one tell me how I am to go about taking the rapidos off for replacement with the MDC's as there are next to no instructions and the roundhouse website appears to be gone.
when I bought the models the guy at the hobby shop suggested that i run the cars in consist and only replace the wheelsets on the outside cars, which is what I intend to do insted of replace all the couplers. But, as the wheelsets are mounted with a cast plastic pin insted of a mounting srew like on my athern cars, it appears i can take the wheelsest off for fear of breaking the mounting pins could anyone provide a suggestion as to how to go about this with minimum destruction.
any advice would be greatly appricated and I look foward to my membership here (and new layout)
