Body-mounted coupler 6-dome tank cars (AHM), Wine only?
All of the 6-dome tank cars seem to be for wine. Does anyone have one?

OP: what was the process for figuring out the coupler pad height? Also what did you use for the boxes?

grabironsさんへの返事が遅れたことをお詫びします．
カプラーパッドの厚さを決めるためには，自作の高さゲージを使います．この上辺高さをボックス取付高さに合致させているのです．使い方は説明図を見てください．緑色がパッド厚さの候補です．
I apologize for the delay in replying to grabirons.
To determine the thickness of the coupler pad, use a homemade height gauge. This height of the top side is made to match the height of the box installation. Please see the explanation diagram for how to use it. The green color is the pad thickness candidate.




カプラーボックスは，Kadee #242にプラスチック片を接着したものです．
The coupler box is made by gluing a piece of styrene onto Kadee #242.
