Micro-Trains Civil War Cars - railohio - 04-30-2012 Here's something to watch for: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.micro-trains.com/cs-N_Fall.php">http://www.micro-trains.com/cs-N_Fall.php</a><!-- m --> Micro-Trains says they'll have "Civil War era" rolling stock available later in the year complete with link-and-pin couplers. This makes "old west" modeling a little more appealing... Re: Micro-Trains Civil War Cars - Tyson Rayles - 05-01-2012 Link and pin in N scale? If I was building a "runner's" layout that would be alright I guess but not for real operations. My eyes, even with glasses are not that good.

My eyes, even with glasses are not that good. Just be sure to check your operating groups hands-if they have missing fingers then they are a experience crew. :o Re: Micro-Trains Civil War Cars - Tyson Rayles - 05-03-2012 Re: Micro-Trains Civil War Cars - BR60103 - 05-03-2012 In HO I used to make Link'n'Pins out of Kadees. Take out the operating wire and drop in a nail. A use for the ones with broken Knuckles. Make your own link -- tutorial available on request. Re: Micro-Trains Civil War Cars - FCIN - 05-03-2012 Noticed that the Micro-Trains ad for these neat looking little cars says: "representative Link-and-Pin style couplers", so I gather they won't be attempting to use actual (semi) scale links and pins. Will be interesting to see what these "representative" couplers will look like and how they will function. I know from my past days of modeling logging operations in both HO and Fn3 scale, the use of actual links and pins can really test your patience - eye sight - nerves! Better have plenty of spare links and especially pins on hand.
