Hi Trevor
I am also waiting for the new S couplers for my Niagara Southern Railroad. I have seen how well the HO couplers work and really want to convert my whole On30 railroad. I will be picking up

So... Let's have a discussion on the Type H coulplers, please?
Has anyone else used them yet? What were your thoughts? I ask, because I bought two packs of the kit-form couplers for my birthday. (Slow retrofitting) Also bought two sets of spare ball bearings
