The comparison image is great; however, the relative “prototype” is in fact quite oversize in its own right. Traditional N scale couplers aren’t that close to scale! You said you didn't have prototype dimensions when you made the comparison mind you.

(Google “e type coupler drawing”, and you will find any number of dimensioned prototype drawings, which I found to generally all agree)

I’ve quickly refactored your comparison here somewhat crudely with a closer representation…. (Might not be absolutely perfect but it’s a lot closer)


The “horn” on the Kato coupler is only there to make them more compatible with the traditional MTL coupler. Ugly to be sure…

It's been a couple of months since we've heard from you. Any updates for us on the Npossible coupler?
