Yeah it's tough with those dummy couplers. Ugly! I had to O-5-O and contort to connect. Like the PA's too darn realistic! I have a pair of nippers lets just cut that detail off.

I jest!

What I'm referring to is the not so simple act of coupling and uncoupling the A and B units.  Uncoupling the back to back B's are easy because they are Kadees.  The A to B unit couplers are dummy couplers.  (I think that's because there isn't enough room for the Kadee box. 

It seems like you need to compress the diaphragms to couple or uncouple.  I was wondering if there was a good method that would make it easy and prevent the diaphragms from scratching each other.  I've been slipping paper in between the diaphragms to prevent scratches when coupling.  I've only done so a couple of times.
