Fergmeister... Your use of the word "Memory" is fantastic. You probably wanted to show that the plastic has fatique and loses tension to the point of being no good. Biill, you could send me those 100 couplers, Ill use em eventually (Just kidding =) Recently I had an issue with a 300 dollar Broadway engine not having Kaydees on the front, I wanted to clarify that the BLI's plastic coupler as come with the engine will work with a Kaydee equipped rolling stock. But you need to lift the engine up and out of the car to uncouple. (there is a thread with photos and assitance from Tony's Hobby Shop on how to install Kaydees) One of the "Light Bulbs" that came to me recently is using the offset couplers on my Athearn 50' Express Reefers. I was tired of stacking spacers under the trucks to the limits of the screw thread. These Kaydee off sets will raise the knuckle high enough off the track and couple! YAY! But it is my hope that someday Locomotive Builders will allow a "Drop in" slot for Kaydee or similar couplers without having to cut.
