I have updated the article about making U-Link_n_Pins from EZ-Mates. We eliminate the "pencil neck".

All sites eventually go off the internet. In the six years my site has been on the net, six sites I had links to no longer exist. That is why I rarely link to a site. How many books go out of print and can't be found? I didn't put my HO material back up due to total lack of interest in early twentieth century railroading.

Hi Harold,

I wouldn't say there is a TOTAL lack of interest, as an example, pick up a copy of the new Craftsman, they have done a special issue on old time railroading, similar to their Traction special some months back. In the early Fifties, when I was a kid starting out in model railroading and reading MR, Craftsman, and Model Trains, the old time  era was much more common, but now what was contemporary in those years is now considered "old time". Time marches on...

Regards, Bill

The ten or so people who are interested in late-nineteenth-early twentieth century model railroading will always insist that there is an interest.

I really like your website, and you can another modeler for the late 18th-earlu 20th century era. Thanks Harold.

Harold - Once again your work is masterful. The conversion is clever and really works. I wouldn't be too worried about the actual appearance. There aren't too many people around who can speak from experience about the coupler's appearance.

Your work makes me want to pack up model railroading and take up collecting things - like beer steins (after they are emptied, of course.)

Harold,
Make that twelve.  I'm the closet railroader who is planning & building an 1880's railway as seen in about 1900.  Still relatively new, badly underfunded, but nothing decrepit yet.  I find your website a good reference and a great inspiration.  Please keep it up.

I'm going to convert all the couplers on the G scale steamer that runs around the top of my daughters room to these style couplers, this should put an end the the occasional "GHOST" uncoupling that occurs (that's who my daughter says uncouples them)  and before anyone says it I can't stand hook and loop couplers.
