thanx, jschuknecht, for addressing a coupler question that's been on my mind. I'm debating whether to go ahead with an N scale switching industrial layout on a long shelf. I like the idea of Z scale couplers, but i don't have your engineering skills. Somewhere in this wide world, there must be an easily adaptable coupler pocket, ready made or close to it, to accompli***he same thing, in less time. What about a homemade template or jig, where these babies can be knocked out en masse, and simply glued to the rolling stock? If such a beast existed, i wouldn't mind a little carving on the car itself, but attacking the inner workings of the pocket itself scares me. And can these Z couplers take the linear back and forth movements of a shunting layout without causing a high number of derailents? To add fuel to the fire, i like sharp radius's, and most of my trucks are still Talgo, for that very reason...
