Denny,

I too like the Accumate scale coupler. I did not like the Accumate standard coupler. All too often it would jam open. The narrow draft gear box on the scale version seems to prevent this. Thus I see little downside to this scale size, good looking coupler. The Kadee 58 has a noticeable gap between the knuckle and the "fist", which is why I have stopped using them. When no draft gear box is provided, the Accumate scale coupler has become my coupler of choice. Regards, Andy Miller

Subject: Re: [STMFC] BLI Hopper Mods Andy Miller feels that all coupler boxes should be made to fit Kadee couplers (and clones). As a general statement for Kadee-size couplers, and as a practical matter, Andy is exactly right. However, Accumate Proto scale-sized couplers use a scale-sized (much smaller) coupler box that is both integral to the coupler (a true distinction), and moreover, it has a superior appearance. . . .
