M-T TSC on BLMA Cars?

[jereising]

I think I've asked this before but don't recall any solution.

I'd like to convert a bunch of BLMA (and now Scale Trains) cars to the TSC system.  I've had extremely good luck with the new couplers and love the lack of slink.

But I'm not going to mutilate those cars to do it.

It should be a relatively simple thing, but putting a TSC into a standard coupler box easily just ain't there.

When you simply replace the whole coupler box assembly it's easy-peasy - but to do that I''d have to cut off the old box and I'm just not going to do that.

Any help here?  And thanks and stay well...

that was one thing that I mentioned when I beta tested them. I  wanted to convert my PS4000 covered hopper

I think Joe from MTL said that a 1015/1016 TSC conversion was on their short list. These should also work in a integrated boxes. But they are not out yet.

The 1016/1016 and a 2001/2004 conversation are absolutely necessary for me to consider conversion.

I have two full trains equipped with the TSC - they are pretty much the most dependable trains on the Sub.  But I'm stuck without that conversion.

@Shipsure, anything for us?

This is great to hear.  I think the positive coupling, along with tight tolerances (no slinky or slippery knuckle forces) more than makes up for any decrease in coupler height.  On decent track they are certainly reliable.

The choir of big knuckles being the only way to hold N scale trains together can go away.  But MTL must expand the line.  The 1015 size box is grossly oversize and hard to mount on most cars.  One look at @wcfn100 's work on a coupler box and you can see the end product that needs to be mass produced.  Plus some drop ins like requested here.
