Chad, Since I don't believe you've started in the coupler business yet ( ) here is Probably the newest Kadee coupler out and for the average engine/rolling stock it probably may be the best, its called "Wisker" #148. But best of all it does not need a centering spring.

Geezzze, sure a lot of traffic here :sleeping: I'll try another Model RR site and see if their "Alive". :confused:

Seems the "Search Engine" for this "DCC Forum" dosn't know what the "Digitrax UT4" is for the answer keeps comming back negative so that is why I started this thread. :( As to my Question of anyone useing the UT4 I'd like to know what you think of its performance etc. The one I ordered is...

And another side shot favoring the rear. Note the grill work, a very nice metal mesh that you can see right through to the other side. :D :thumb:

A side shot of the Athearn Genesis F7A favoring the front.

And a nose shot ( not the greatest pic :( ) The grab irons and ladder railings are wire and not molded on.

CN1, here is a "Weigh-In" :rolleyes: shot of my F7A Rock Island and according to the scale ( scales correct believe me ) this unit is very healthy. :thumb: And will pull the socks off my Atlas GP-40 units. The scale is right on at 17 ounces. Yeah its a nice shell, very well running. at...
