Not sure if TW will fit the Athearn as it states it is for Atlas but if it does then these should work. These are like TW, just designed for a MT 1015, also the mount screw is on the bottom so if anything was to happen to the coupler it can be replaced.All one needs is a 3D printer. https://www.trainboard.com/highball/index.php?resources/atlas-3-bay-open-hopper-body-mount-coupler-pad.190/I will try to remember to check tomorrow if these fit the Athearn cars
I hesitate to post this here since it's a niche suggestion that's probably not very helpful, but my go-to approach to this kind of problem now is to draw and 3-d print a coupler box customized for the job. Here's an example on another covered hopper where I drew the part to fit and was able to include some mounting elements to make sure it was strong and stable. The whole design cycle was done in a weekend and I can now print as many as I need.The part press fits into the frame with a little drop of glue to keep it in place. All of the longitudinal forces are transmitted through the post and channel on top of the box. Once you have a work flow in place, and a few designs under your belt, it's super easy to whip up relatively simple custom parts like this, and the printer I'm using can be had for under $200.
I don't do 3D, but since many modelers now do, I wonder if there would be room on the Railwire server for posting these files?
My printer is the Anycubic Photon Mono, which has a modest print volume, but it's more than adequate for small parts like this. I use TinkerCAD to design parts and export them to the printer. This program is free on the web and is literally aimed at teaching kids how to design in 3d, so perfect for me. Starting with zero experience in 3d printing or CAD, I was printing my own first simple designs within a week. There are many other CAD and printer options out there, but so far this combo has worked well for me.
