I can respect that, Ed. But please note that the only time I have anything to say about the Kadee coupler is when I'm making a comparison about them to some other coupler. I don't mean my comments to be critical, just comparative (to other couplers) and analytical (of their features and/or operation). However, I do still have personal feelings about them... that they are just plum butt-ugly... but even that is a comparative comment because I am just stating how I feel about their appearance AS COMPARED TO the look of either real, 1:1 scale couplers or some other model coupler. If anyone is getting the impression that I despise Kadee, then you are getting the wrong impression... I merely like Sergent couplers better than I like Kadee couplers, and for all the reasons taht I have to so frequently rehash, which (again) is also just comparative to the thoughts and feelings of those of you who stand so unmovingly on the Kadee side of the fence.
My only real criticism goes out to all the anti-Sergent modelers who are so convinced that Kadee couplers are so superior to everything else that moves HAVING NEVER EVEN SEEN AND/OR USED a Sergent coupler (old or new).

I cannot speak for others, but I strongly object to the near-constant bashing of Kadee products. So I'd like to point out their good reliable operation and acceptable (though not outstanding) appearance for the benefit of others who might not have tried them. Simply trying to frame Kadee in the positive light which it deserves. Talking about a potential upcoming new product does not bother me in the least. Bashing a fine existing product is annoying to put it mildly. Cheers....Ed L.
