Here's a link. My pre-order shipment just showed up at my US post box. I'll report back as soon as I get a chance to pick them up and inspect. I will be replacing the wheels with FVM (smaller flanges) and couplers (Z scale) but they otherwise look great in the photos.Glad I pre-ordered mine @ $27.99 ea.-gfh
Who offered them at that price?
... The ST couplers are harder to couple than MT TrueScale.
I’ve got my first batch already. Beautiful. The printing is fantastic, the details are well done. I just need to swap the couplers out for 1015s. The ST couplers are harder to couple than MT TrueScale. (Attachment Link)
Order them direct from their website, offer is still good, but to get them at that price you have to order 12+
I don't get this Scale Traiins coupler thing either. The models are super-detailed with all sorts of fancy free-standing detail, yet they use a giant McHenry wannabe coupler. So much for "rivet counting". . . Thankfully (at least for me) the coupler boxes are designed to retrofit the MTL couplers.
My guess is that they're trying to do something new and are still working through revisions of it. As long as they "work" right now, I'm willing to give them some space to get them worked out since, otherwise, the ST stuff is really nice.
