Hi Jeff -
I remember your Nova switching yard site well. I have a bunch of O-scale
Kadee couplers attached to LEGO plates based on your ideas from several
years ago, and now I shudder because I showed them to John last weekend!
I'm working on our guys to let me use them at shows, and maybe this will
help things along...
I very much appreciate your contributions to our hobby. Thank you.
Ed
