Cool, Jeff. I was wondering if you would share for everyone in more
detail how well using Kadee couplers have worked out for you. What if
TLC were to enter into a licensing agreement with Kadee to produce
modified couplers for them with LEGO's name on them? Would you consider
that a good idea?
I have had the same thoughts-- am even in contact with Kadee R&D. I
thought that it would be great to go full bore and get prototypical
Bettendorf trucks out of the deal as well (with a talgo style coupler
attached).
Would others like to see this kind of cooperation? It is a large step in
the direction of model trains aimed more at adults than 11 year old
kids-- is there a demand for such a measure? What do you all think?
