Now have a bunch of HO guys, who are used to Kadees, over to operate. Then explain, you have to do this one this way, and that one another way.
I guess my solution is going to be to paint the tabs different colors. Push red tabs back and yellow tabs down. That should also help people see them easier.
And no, I'm not going to convert, close to 1000 cars, to Kadees.
The exact thing happened when I had some HO buddies over to operate. Not to mention Atlas has the tab on the opposite side as Lionel and MTH. Hands down they liked the tack and no one complained about how it looked. Oh, and I was very critical of Lionel when they changed until this experience.
