Title: t shank knuckle couplers
Post by: RGW on December 20, 2011, 01:57:44 PM
Bachmann is there or will there be a n scale ez mate operating knuckle couplers
with the t shank end like your dummy knuckle couplers. I would like to replace your older couplers with your new ez mates.

thanks RGW

Dear RGW,
There are none at this time beyond the EZ Mates in production.
Happy Holidays!

I think these would be a popular item, especially if offered in a variety of lengths.  By having other lengths (than the standard one), they could appeal to modelers as replacements for standard length knuckle couplers, as well as replacements for Rapido style couplers.

I see no future for Rapido-style couplers.  Their performance and appearance is inferior to knuckle couplers, and they have no advantages.

Dear Mr Bach-Man,
Could you please consider an NEM version and t shank couplers.  Both options could be a big help to anyone considering upgrading to magnetic couplers.
