Ok, let me re-phrase this ...

I want to see these couplers, how they look and how they operate. The context is evaluating them for possible applications in the event that ST decides to offer them separately.

Can't really see them in the pix too well, but they look largish so I don't know, hence I want to see them.

If we go by their original coupler (in the Big Blows), this  coupler will most likely be similar in size to McHenry, or "Boxing Glove Jr.".

Oh, so that's what is meant by "semi-scale"  ... oh well, thanks.

Just my speculation - no hard facts.  I think they call their couplers semi-scale because they, just like McHenrys, resemble the prototype AAR couplers more closely than other N scale knuckle couplers, like MTL, Acumates, Katos, or other clones (appearance-wise, not size-wise).
