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?
