Ian- What do the photos have to do with couplers (other than uncoupling my connection)?
The ones I can make out look stock.

I love the security protocals on our system here, all i see is a little box with a red X in it...[xx(]

[Curmudgeon]

About half have the box with the red "X" for me.
Bad part was they load FULL SIZE (and VERY slow on dial-up), and when fully loaded they re-size.

TOC,
I, too, was too stubborn to switch to High speed cable. But for 20 bucks more a month, it's worth every penny.[:D][:D]
Pictures, (even the boring ones) load notch 8.
I know Kirkland ain't out in the boonies. So it's probably avalaible.
Try it on a 6 month trial for $19.95 a month, like I did.

Curmudgeon, I'll leave the trip pins on mine for now, I guess you just have to ignore them the same way Lionel guys overlook that third rail, trip pin fine, third rail NO! IMHO.

Whats a trip pin?

Trip pin on Kadee's is the little wire that's suppost to facimilate a brake line but is what makes the uncoupler work, It hangs low enough for the kadee magnet to force I guess you would call it negative fields. Ever play with two magnets and the one way stick together but the other way they push apart, that's what enables kadee's to uncouple.

I see so if it hangs down too much you just cut it off (if your not using the kadee uncoupler).
Thanks for the info
Scott
P.S. Magnets are the best. Repelling forces are the basis of my current project.
