Re: Different coupler types on the same layout

<The Flyer couplers don¡¯t close at slow speeds whereas KD¡¯s do, so realistic switching is not an option with Flyer.>

Flyer link couplers do close at very low speeds, that¡¯s one of the reasons I prefer them to Flyer knuckle couplers.? You are quite correct about the knuckle coupler.? Another reason I like link couplers is that they are close coupling, the spaces between cars is more prototypical.? Same reason I prefer Kadee #5s over their 208s.? On my layout you will find Kadee #5s, Flyer link, and some Flyer knuckle with multiple conversion cars.? Oh, and Hi-rail, Flyer, and scale wheels.
