Hi John....."S"hould I interpret your comment as thinking that some
coupler commentary should have been included in the article? Or,
should I figure you are happy beyond relief that the subject was never
brought up? Let's just say, that in order the get the milk from the
farm to the consumer, the RR cars need to be coupled to the engine.
Enuff?
More seriously, I did just read (forgot where) about some new couplers
that have recently come out now that Kadee's patents have expired. One
of them is plastic with metal springs and is about 10-15% larger than
the already oversized (for HO) Kadee #5. So if the KD#5 is only
slightly too small for S, perhaps this new coupler is pretty close to
being more-or-less accurate for S scale. I think the name of this new
coupler is PROTO-X or something similar (darn memory). I will leave it
to the coupler fanatics (you know who you are) to research this and let
us all know if it is a good thing or not.
Cheers...Ed L.
