Micro-Trains also makes a Z scale coupler that looks and works like their N scale one (which is based on the Kadee HO coupler). A couple of people have used the Z scale couplers for N scale, at least on locomotive coupler conversions. Too small for me, I've got enough trouble with the current M-T and Accumate couplers in N scale.

The Kadee #5 isn't scale-sized either.

You'll get scale-sized N scale couplers when people evolve smaller fingers!

When will we get some? I mean, the ones we have now are huge. Why can't Kadee, or micro mark, or whatever these companies are called (Sorry, I'm kind of ignorant) Why can't they just make something that's even as close to scale as the Kadee #5, except in N scale?
Are there any major problems in the production of them?
