I like it.
I ran some tests with one and it worked very well.
Unfortunately they are nearly unobtainable, and Rapido does not seem to want to make more.

They had a scale head type coupler on it similar to Kadee couplers. However, I use the standard head couplers on my freight cars.
X72’s have the typical Rapido coupler. I am not aware of Rapido ever actually applying real Kadee couplers to their products.
Their “clone” coupler may appear to be a Kadee coupler to some less knowledgable eyes, BUT it is clearly not, and it does not function as well as an actual Kadee coupler.
The apparently revised Rapido coupler that is on the Amtrak Special Edition E-8’s does function much better than the others.
