More possibilities ahead.

New ideas, prototype variations and requests for the range.

Which scales are available?

We offer couplers for HO, HO and HOn3 narrow-shank applications, S scale and O scale. Check each product’s listing for its current availability.

G scale is in development. There is no announced release date.

Can I suggest a coupler or a model to support?

Please do. Tell us the scale, manufacturer and model, along with the coupler or mounting arrangement you would like to reproduce. Clear photographs and dimensions are helpful.

Requests help us decide where to focus development. They are not a custom-order commitment or a promise of a release date. When a product is ready, we will add it to the range and share it in News.

What about a Type D coupler for earlier equipment?

Type D and Type E couplers share a similar overall appearance, especially later Type D examples. For period modeling, the knuckle and cut-lever arrangement deserve a closer look.

The earlier Type D knuckle had a 9-inch-high face, compared with the 11-inch face associated with Type E. Some later Type D couplers used the taller knuckle. The photos below show the shorter knuckle and the earlier bottom cut-lever linkage.

Type D details to compare with photographs of your chosen prototype.

A Type E model may suit some later applications, but it does not reproduce every Type D detail. Choose against your prototype reference rather than the date alone.
