Fairway park model products HO scale self coupling air hoses
Hmmm, I wonder how easily they break away. It looks like a derailment waiting to happen.

Nice.
LIONS use draw bars.
Neato!
Give it time, grasshopper, it will probably come to N scale too!!

I hope because it will be standard to all of my equipment.
I’m not converting till I find a source for “scale air”.
That is so cool. Any idea on the cost? At the right price I could buy several hundred.[:P]
Ultra cool.
Someone finally found a small enough magnet to do this in HO?
Interesting, but I’m not cutting the trip pins off 1000 pairs of Kadee couplers, so I will pass thank you.

Try a (working) scale cross-compound air pump.
Then all you’ll need is an HO scale live steam loco to mount it on…

I keep my trip pins because they look sort of like an airhose… errrrr one that magically defies gravity? [:D]
They were being sold on Ebay …
It appears that ad has sold out though. At that rate, expect to see another ad put up shortly. They apparently dont have a web site, but their e-mail is clancraft@shaw.ca

Those are fantastic! I would be willing to buy those, match them with Sargent Couplers and you are looking as proto as you could possibly be.
Nice find.
Where can I find those 1mm Cylindrical rare earth Magnets???
Ooopppsss sorry to give away that Magic trick, Dang, ‘I did it again, again!!!’
Hmmm. Looks like a good use for some small magnets, black thread and some super glue.
wonder if I could make my own, where do I buy magnets and how do I cut them.
Radio Shack has small rare earth and ceramic magnets. On cutting, very carefully.[(-D]
