To check coupler height, set the coupler into the talgo truck pocket and hold it level as possible and check the coupler height with a #205 or newer #206 HO coupler height gauge.
NOTE: So it is important to check coupler height and make sure it is correct "before" you insert the talgo truck adaptor, because it's almost impossible to remove without breaking something.
