The Illusion
Here's some S scale cars with Kadees and brass airhoses bent to look like they are connected when running. I get about 90% of the effect of coupled rubber magnetic glad hand airhoses with 10% of the effort and no airhose detail parts cost or maintenance required.( just bend some brass wire and solder on a brass wire simulated angle cock handle) These cars are Lionel O-27 Hi cubes convereted to S scale BTW :>.......DaveB
