<p>[quote user="riogrande5761"]During my four long summers in Germany in the 1990s I watched and examined trains at every oportunity. From what I recall they all used a hook and eye coupler system which makes it difficult to model with an automatic coupler. It dosnt seem possibe to make an HO version of that so unless Europe adopts a US knuckle coupler system, I dont see how things will ever change or ever catch up.[/quote]</p> <p>It´s really hard to believe that with all those really advanced rail technology available in Europe, the railroads could not agree upon a common automatic coupling system in over 150 years! We are still on the same old screw/link coupling established in the 1850´s!</p>
