Martin, How does the saying go..."It's better to try to do something and fail, than to try to do nothing and succeed". Don't be discouraged, if we didn't like doing the impossible with nothing, we'd all be in HO. We will get the Segent coupler, even if Frank has to make them using investment casting. That's how he makes his specialty HO couplers. It's just the standard coupler that's die cast.
