I have one of the TRE F59 PHI passenger sets. It looks and runs great. The loco uncouples because rear of the body shell is slightly raised because of the decoder pocket. I saw a fix for this, but I can't seem to locate it again. It will pull the 4 cars with the front coupler and moves with only about 30% throttle on a Rokuhan controller. It is still new and not broken in, but I am very impressed. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

If it sticks out, it will push the shell upwards.
