    euch.......200 tons....no 2 kg I believe, never looked for the weight, but it's heavy enough for some serious pulling.

    are those kadee couplers? seeing as those are the only couplers that i know of that have "hoses" on em.
    are they good couplers?

    i have a USA sd40-2 UP engine. I LOVE IT! i'm thinking about putting kadee couplers on that, but i'm not sure if they're good couplers or not, that's why i asked.

    Hi,

    here a couple answers on your questions,

    Yes they are Kadee couplers and they work great!!!!!!!

    Scale G: Kadee is perfect
    Scale HO: Kadee is very very good
    Scale N: I personally do not like it, to much trouble.

    For spraying, yes they are spray cans you can buy in Wall-Mart or whatever car material shop.

    <font color="3333ff">That is a fine looking locomotive! I can confirm the good working of the Kadee couplers in this scale. I too have used car spray cans for large-scale models. I once built and painted a ten-car rake of (British) LMS coaches, and painted them with car paint, as one was a perfect match!</font> [​IMG]
