#22 August 2008 "2008 NMRA National Train Show Questions"
This series is to help answer the many questions about Kadee® products and to provide "Helpful Hints" to modelers using our products.
We just recently attended the 2008 NMRA National Train Show in Anaheim, CA, which also was part of the week long NMRA Convention. It was a great show with the registered attendance announced to be 23,000+. If you ever have an opportunity to attend any NMRA National Convention and Train Show we certainly encourage you to do so. There is something for everyone from the absolute beginner to the hard core experienced model railroader, and even those who may not be model railroaders yet. There are many model railroad shows all over the country going on all the time, from the small local club shows, railroad historical society’s shows, NMRA Regionals, WGH, Trainfest, Timonium, Springfield, NMRA Nationals, and many others including general hobby shows that include model railroading. Don’t pass up an opportunity to attend.
Some of the many questions we answered at the NMRA National Train Show are:
Q: "Are we going to come out with the complete "offset" series of whisker coupler?" A: We are presently working on this and we’ll be releasing each one as they are completed, these will be the standard head #148 type and not the scale head couplers.
Q: "What is our next type of car we’ll bring out?" A: We have not yet decided on our next car. We have quite a number of projects we are presently working on so it may be quite some time before we start another car project.
Q: "Are we going to bring out more "O" scale couplers with longer shanks and offsets?" A: We might in the future since we have been receiving more and more requests.
Q: "Are we going to bring out more products in other scales such as On30?" A: We’d like to but we have so many projects going on and a very long list of future projects so unless something becomes a priority we really do not know when we’ll get to it.
Q: "How come you don’t sell your couplers to other manufacturers?" A: As a matter of fact we do sell to several model makers and we certainly are willing to sell to any manufacturer that wants a quality coupler on their models. The main issue is the bottom line the manufacturers are willing to pay for couplers and their little regard for the modelers desire for quality couplers installed at the factory.
Q: "Is the #148 whisker coupler going to replace the #5 coupler?" A: Perhaps that’s an eventuality but it really won’t happen for a very long time. The #5 coupler is still the back bone of our coupler line, however, any new HO coupler we make will have the whisker centering spring type of shank.
Q: "Are bulk packages of your whisker couplers available?" A: Yes, and they’ve been available for sometime now. The #14 is the 25 pair & #140 is the 50 pair package of the #148 coupler and the #150 is the 25 pair & #151 is the 50 pair package of the scale head #158 coupler.

I have been buying #148 whisker couplers for some time now and i like them a lot better then the old #5 with the spring plates.
