| I've purchased a pair of the Railroad Warehouse couplers and they look well built. Others I've talked to who use the Mountain Car couplers are happy with them. Train Mountain is new in the coupler business, but their reputation is high quality but expensive. They are selling their new ductile iron couplers as well as reconditioned Mercer manganese bronze couplers they are replacing with ductile iron. They have gone to ductile iron to ensure the strength necessary for 100 car trains. |
