The idea of Kadee couplers for Lego trains is a fantastic idea. This the only
short coming of Lego trains. You can't shunt them. I've ben trying
unsuccessfully to design a alternate coupler from Lego parts but no luck. I
would equip every piece of Lego train equipment I have with Kadess if possible.
I hope that if the Kadee makes them they make them available through local hobby
shops and not just through Lego Shop at Home
