[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by globnik Micro-Trains couplers. Ingenious in their design, but obviously designed by an individual or team of sado-masochists whose primary goal is to aid phrmaceutical companies in boosting their blood pressure medication sales. All you need is a Micro-trains coupler 'kit', adult size fingers, middle-aged or older eyesight, and nerves not made of steel, and you can see what hell must be like anytime you're up to it. Oh, and that so called spring loaded assembly jig is nothing more than a launcher for the various sub-atomic sized parts. Guaranteed to turn 'fun' into a cuss word inventing session (my wife can attest to this, her saying: 'It doesn't sound like you're having fun down there!?!?!?') [/quote] Two things that might help the blood pressure - the MT notched Tweezers to hold the pieces together really do work. And a great tip (don't know the originator of this but they have my undying gratitude) - if you run a length of thread through the coupler spring first it won't fly away while you place it into position. Then slip the thread out when the coupler is assembled. Pet peeves - dirty rails, dirty wheels, locomotives with poor electrical pickup.
