[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by cjcrescent Cacole; Except for the height standard on couplers what you say is true. The NMRA has had a coupler height standard since the 1950's at least. Coupler type supplied with the model has played a major role in setting height. [/quote] Ahh yes, the same guys who brought us that raging success, the X2F coupler.[:(!] They're great, to toss onto the floor outside your teenagers room, so that when he steps in them in the darkness, in his bare feet, you will immediately know how far past his curfew he is sneaking in. Gimme a break! The hobbiests themselves have to write letters and gripe loudly to get the manufacturers to change. Just remember one thing, every upgrade they do (working pilot couplers, rewiring for DCC, etc) will cost more money to buy. Its true either way, you get what you pay for, and you pay for what you get.
