Never heard of that firm. Not that all the new firms which have arrived on the scene over the years are broadly known. It's great they did the new coupler.
Whart is the plastic that is formed. How tough is it?. Does it work as a "burn out "material in lost wax casting (investment). This raises a question: Can we create new dentures or teeth and eliminate the dentist expense if we have our own unit?

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 -- Daniel McConnachie
