Ben!

Thanks for the link. It looks a whole lot easier than I thought it would be.
Time to order one.. The new couplers kind of look like the ones MDC used to have, with the difference that they stay coupled (unlike the MDC's) They work with accumates as well as with Microtrains. The only downside is that if you use magnetic uncouplers ( I don't) they will not uncouple, not having a trip pin or a split shank...

That is indeed good news. The knuckle coupler on the FM 16-44 work just fine with mt's. I put MT's on a Model Power Plymouth when I first changed away from rapidos and that was a major PITA. Plus it still runs like crap. I guess I'll just wait until B'mann changes over to knuckle couplers..

I posted this on the old board yesterday, but I'll try it again:
Does anybody have any experience replacing the couplers on this engine with MT's? Their website offers no help. I understand the MDT is a good running switcher but those crapidos....
In the last 40+ years manufacturers have raised the bar on so many things, (performance, detail, etc..) I find it hard to understand why the don't give those toy train couplers the heave-ho.
