Do you think MTH will sell with scale couplers?
I remember seeing Lionel lobster claw type couplers on some older S scale.
Actually, AC Gilbert had their own "lobster claw" coupler, and that's what Lionel still puts on American Flyer.
As far as MTH goes, it's all just pure speculation right now. We'll have to wait and see when their first catalog comes out.
The former SHS included their Kadee Clone with F-units and ore cars, but everything came equipped with a Flyer compatible coupler installed. Us scale guys bought and installed Kadees for the SHS products otherwise.
