I was about to post a great big 'YAWN" to this coupler debate, mainly because I'm currently trying to digest what we already have, at least for now. Lest we forget, though, guys like John are the ones that advance our hobby. After all, how many of us would like to go back to only choices of open-frame motors, or brass craftsman style locomotive kits for variety, or even S-4 flanges.
Keep it up John, and keep us posted. I did the same thing thirty years ago with respect to 2-8-0's and forty-foot boxcars, etc., and it was like trying to move a five-hundred pound sow with the edge of my foot (lipstick and pearl necklaces optional). Need I say more?
