Removed
  • individual axles
  • the old buffers
  • magnets
  • magnet holders
Is it me, or does the new buffer look like its hard-mounted and inflexible? Also, what happened to the old elements? Any chance we’ll get them back?

Well these parts are horrible, I model mostly US trains. And I’m not interested in having my coupler combined with a buffer. I mosly use this part or this and toss the regular buffers in a pile.


And if that’s not bad enough, what’s up with the $25 price tag for a 6x28 train baseplate in DkBley?
