I'll check it out.

I don't think it is great. They will be at the wrong height. Scale couplers should be mounted between the buffers, not below the buffer beam in a NEM pocket.

Although more expensive, a proper scale couple such as those from Weinert, will be much more realistic and will provide a realistic take up as the train pulls away.

Sorry to be negative but just don't really see the point of this "halfway house"

I don't see any problems with availability of Weinert couplings. My latest shipment arrived yesterday after 2 weeks.

They are expensive but not frighteningly so. They are as close to scale as I have seen in a ready to buy coupling.

They uncouple and couple using a manual hook. Not autocouple but still fun to use.

Appearance is excellent.
