November 17 - Foothill Model Works has produced injected link and pin couplers.

Inspired by the West Side Lumber Company, these link and pin couplers are designed to fit on any car designed to use Kadee® No. 26 couplers. These couplers will take advantage of Kadee®'s standard box and spring to steady them in operation and to keep the head centered on the end of the car. The shanks have been thickened for a more scale look, but are easily modified for tight fits. They're even cast in styrene so paint will stick!

This parts set includes 2 link & pin couplers, 4 links, and 4 pins. Stock No. FMW-4005 Price $3.00
