That video is good, but the camera was having a lot of trouble focusing on the critical details.

@ednadolski - Ed, thanks for posting the video link. It's good to put a face on Lemosteam @turbowhiz .  His explanations and demo answered several questions I was having.

Cheerio!

Fixed it for you.  Also, I think the term is putting a face to the name.  I'm pretty sure he had a face all along. ;) -gfh

Yeah...thanks for the fix...and I already knew his name...I thought, but didn't know his face  :D  Workin all night is taking its toll....

Impatiently waiting for these to arrive at a US dealer. I have around two dozen new locos on the bench that need decoders and coupler replacements. Considering the fragility of their details, would like to handle for disassembly, etc., just once.

Just got an email from Credit Valley that my pre-order was in. So I promptly doubled it and paid.

The VERY first retail order was delivered to the Credit Valley today! They have sufficient stock to fill all the pre-orders, and they have a modest amount of stock on hand right now. I'm still waiting for my full bulk order of instruction inserts from the printer (tomorrow AM supposedly?) and once those are in hand I'll work ahead on some large scale packaging and start getting them to US retailers who have expressed interest. The objective is to have continuous stock availability, but I can't fully predict demand. I've worked hard and took extra time to make sure I'm capable of meeting some significant demand right out of the gate, but this is new to me here so yeah, its a learning journey.



As people get these in hand, please reach out to me with feedback, both good and bad. Its all brand new, so I figure there's bound to be some bumps in the road.

Woo! Perfect timing, I'll be recording my first experiences with the samples from the NSE convention that I was sent by a friend who stopped by the both tonight, and hopefully having it edited and uploaded by Thursday or Friday!

I too am very excited about these and plan on converting the fleet over time. I do want to understand. These do not have the delayed uncoupling feature? You cannot push a car down a siding and leave it there without actually uncoupling it? I realize that not having this featured is one reason why they stay coupled so well. I am willing to forgo this, but it does create layout design issues. I am currently planning the big layout; at least it will be big for me.

No, they do indeed allow you to have delayed uncoupling.  I got to try them out at the NTS on the switching layout shown.  I was impressed how I could quickly use the uncoupling tool to get them in the delayed position.

Excellent! Thank you. It keeps sounding better and better.

Short and Medium shank options currently sold out at Credit Valley with a restock apparently expected next week. Congrats Andrew @turbowhiz on your efforts in getting this exciting product to market. Some will be on their way to Australia next week for a test, and my LHS will be in touch soon as a potential stockist!

They ordered more from me first thing this AM; The extra stock they had was gone rather quickly! The restock order is all packed up, so they will have some more on hand tomorrow.
