New couplers for Lego, update with pictures

No clear place where to put this...

If you have been to a mixed type train show, you have probably seen some really impressive Lego trains.  When built in 8 stud wide configuration, Lego trains are a pretty good match for O Gauge.  There is a very large secondary market for Lego trains as a hobby, which gets more sophisticated all the time.  

Now they are taking a huge leap forward.  Brick Model Railroader and BrickForge have teamed up to develop lego mounts for Kadee couplers.  BMR already sells advanced instructions for Lego rolling stock that includes roller bearings.  But this is a huge step forward for them as the existing coupler system for lego is magnets.  These have inherent limitations.  Incorporating O gauge kadee couplers directly into Lego trains is pretty exciting stuff.  Frankly I see a whole onset of lego trains builts to run on O gauge track and totally compatible with existing O gauge rolling stock.  Can you imagine Brick built rolling stock behind a brass scale loco - I can!

Anyway, just thought you all would find this interesting.
