My problem was I boxed everything up and am now trying to unbox it. I just don't have enough space and need to complete so many started, but put on hold for one reason or another, projects.

I'm glad that I'm not  the only one with this "problem".

I think it is a law of nature that, for any given project, at least one part, decal or paint color is out of production with no date set for re-stocking, assuming the company is even still in business.

At least, this is true for me.

By the time the manufacturer re-runs whatever it was, I will have forgotten where I put the list of things I need for the project.

Why do you think I only posted a photo of my workbench (and not  the rest of  my workshop, or the rest of my basement).   ;)

It's only a 'problem' if you give it that name...just like it isn't an addiction unless you start calling it one.

Here are some photos from the convention. Andrew from N-Possible brought some of his coupler equipped cars to the Free-moN layout and performed some demos for us along with testing for himself. These couplers couple, incredibly easy I might add. There is very little slack or slinky action so for slow speed operations, the last car isn't jerking back and forth. The cats do sit closer together so tighter radius curves could prove to beat issue for some. There is horizontal swing in the couple box unlike some small scale couplers. They can be uncoupled with a shish kabob stick or other pick tool. Currently have long and short shanks he is working with.

They look good.  They look rather like an MT true scale, actually.  Do they mate with those?  Curious to see more.

Thanks GM50 4164 for the photos- MUCH clearer than the one posted at the top of this thread.  Hoping at some point we will see the "parts",  and some dimensional data for the boxes.

Looks N-Possibly nice!  :trollface: (thanks @GM50 4164 for the pix)

When and if these make it to production, I look forward to trying them out.
