There's 24 pages to this thread, but skip towards the end, and I think you may find the answer you're looking for:

Yep - Ed is taking orders for an upcoming run of etched pockets.  Just be warned that they only work with the "Full Throttle/Bowser/Lee English" Z scale couplers, which can now only be purchased directly from Lee English (or by cannibalizing Full Throttle Z scale trucks, but that is expensive).  Some more general info is summarized here:

the latest coupler ordering info is here:

and the latest pocket ordering info is here:

This pocket design could be readily resized to work with Accumate & McHenry couplers, but neither Ed nor I have any plans to do so.  The design would not easily port to use with MT couplers though.
