I cannot vote as there is no "Electric" category. My last Lionel locomotive purchase was the HHP-8; excellent piece with best sounding horn! The first time that I ran it, I probably laid on the horn way too much. ;D

[djacobsen  quote]Early  Lionel HO was produced under license by Rivarossi and may have a horn hook type coupler.

If your acquaintance has rolling stock with the hook & horn type, it would be easy for them to convert over to knuckle couplers. [/quote]

I always had a little bit of "trouble" mounting the usual (KayDee brand in my case) knuckle couplers to Rivarossi equipment as their couplers are/were truck-mounted and I wanted to body mount them. This was HO.
