Had to chuckle--the coupler thread has everything to do with real trains in my view (if one really pretends to be a scale modeler, that is). Real trains have real couplers, and it certainly is legitimate to want to represent them in scale as faithfully as possible. Which tends to aim one in the direction of Sergent, by the way! I appreciate the discussion.
Fred Tolhurst Southern Railway in 1/64, in Maryville, TN--foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains We all say we want greater acceptance of S, but I think we're our own worst enemy. We're so quick to argue about coupler minutia and so slow to learn anything about real trains. I could go on, but maybe I should stop before I say something controversial.
