Village railroad club met tonight. I did a show and tell on couplers. I had sheets showing items from the Baker to the early Kadee MKD series (delayed! uncoupling).
Included were Roundhouse, some odd radial couplings, and Kadee K-5 and K-10, and a Mantua on a truck. I also mounted a Devore ramp on a piece of Tru-Scale self-gauging roadbed.
I googled Baker couplings and, other than plumbing joints, I found an old thread on the old gauge with DrWayne and me contributing,
I also took a picture -- the demise of TTC PCC 4036 -- the first PCC to be scrapped.
(4036 derailed into the wall of Lansdowne carhouse.)

In model railroading, there are between six and two hundred ways of performing a given task.
Most modellers can get two of them to work.
