Thanks both, the second version of the catch is now with the etchers after I found ways to improve then after the first test. I'm crossing my fingers that they'll be good enough to demonstrate after that.

Getting nostalgic listening to 'Northern Soul' on Amazon Music.

Look forward to seeing the finished product. Often wondered why nobody has manufactured a DG style coupling with NEM pockets to replace the unsightly offering we now have.

Good luck

Chris

I'd like to see images of your couplings when they're available, I could be persuaded to change from Dapol Easishunts. They lose their springs and coupling up again after uncoupling is a problem. For me it's important that they allow close coupling of wagons.

Aldo Nova Fantasy. We were driving down the road, following a guy on a bicycle. When the loud part started (1:20), he almost fell off.

Perhaps they could structure the marketing output to include only specific news about particular scales/gauges chosen to prevent people being overwhelmed with information about scales and gauges that are of no interest.

Just did! It's a good idea.

See reply#8653, Bazza

That post doesn't indicate that the suggestion I posed was actually made or what their reaction to the email was. It'd be nice to put some pressure on them about wanting only specific information about N gauge/scale.

Would have been a bit pointless me emailing them and not asking them to make them scale specific as that what we've been talking about
As it is they haven't replied but I don't expect them to. However, if enough people email them saying the same thing something might happen.
