You can see in the 1st. photo that I’ve used an underset coupler trying to correct the probem and giving the freight car enough spacers using fiber washers to raise the car would require at least 10 fiber washers and probably more to adjust the coupler height up. When coupler height adjustment is out of range and the trip pin is getting caught because its too low I have like many used fiber washers to adjust the car higher. But using 4 or 6 fiber washers on each truck really gets expensive and time consuming as well as saving the cost of finding and installing underset couplers, so like many modelers I’ve taken to using these metal washers for less expense and less time. They also help correct an unstable lean on some models. You get 30 washers so you can correct up to 15 cars. The fiber washers, test track, coupler height gauge, box car & gondola, rulers, dime are for scale appreciation and ad example only they are not part of auction, ONLY THE 30 WASHERS ARE UP FOR AUCTION. Modeling tip: MY SCREW AND WASHER ASSORTMENT SOLD IN ANOTHER LISTING. YOU CAN CUT THE SCREWS DOWN TO OTHER USABLE SIZES WITH MOST FISHERMAN HOOK CUTTING KNEEDLE NOSE PLIERS WITH NO DAMAGE TO THE PLIERS CUTTING EDGE. MOST FISHERMAN KNEEDLE NOSE PLIERS ARE MADE FOR LARGE SALT WATER HOOKS THAT ARE TEMPERED LIKE SCREWS IN THE HEAT TREATING MANUFACTURING PROCESS. I WILL COMBINE SHIPPING ON MULTIPLE PURCASES. PLEASE REQUEST AN COMBINED INVOICE AT CHECK OUT. $1.50 per additional order will be refunded when multiple sets are purchased together. Quality Sorted on Every Order. Because the washers have different thicknesses you can choose higher or lower coupler heights. I have offered these items at near cost because more than half the price amounts to shipping and venue total but since I sell so little of these I will discontinue these items if sales do not pick up.
