Hi All,
Jim Martin and I were sitting around talking to one of our new S Scale friends,
Arnold Ziffle. We were discussing the coupler issue and Arnie revealed to us
that he has a cousin who works for that esteemed firm SRA Silverman and
Associates Engineering firm. Well Arnie got right at it and had him design a
new coupler especially for S Scale and had it printed out on a 3D printer!
I have acquired the first copy of this coupler and will put it to the test. I
took some photos which I will upload to the list photo section. Look under 1
New Coupler Design.
I think it's uncannuy how well it fits so nicely in the NASG Kadee 802 coupler
height gauge. Only a fool would hesitate to see that it's the ultimate in
coupler design and simplicty.
I'm sure that you'll agree that this will really get some people to sit up and
notice. We're hoping that all the S Scale manufacturers will adopt this as
their new S Scale standard coupler.
Since this is the pilot model and I only have one, I can't wait to get my hands
on more and install them on all my equipment. Good bye Kadee jiggle, so long
Sergent fussiness. The new standard is in town!
cheers, eh?
Andy Malette
