Not to be critical of a superb new product, but doesn't the left side of the new Kadee look a bit more realistic? Or is the Protocraft a copy of a more modern coupler casting?
And while I love good operating scale couplers like Scale Craft, Clouser, and Lionel 700, there is a cost factor for some of us? Kadee prices may be up, but they are still within reachnof the common man. Now if we could only get them to make die cast freight trucks?
