Geo­T­rax Add-on Couplers

It took for­ever, but here they are. The qual­ity of the first cast­ing was lousy, but they are up to snuff now and we’re run­ning them non­stop on sev­eral trains! Now if I can just fig­ure out this e-commerce thing, I’ll send you some.

Trevor can pull a train at last!

It took for­ever, but man it’s incred­i­ble! We’ve got hooks on the back of trains that were miss­ing them, and loops on the front of oth­ers. We’ve got Trevor pulling cars like he should have done in the first place, and we’ve got the coolest double-headers: never before pos­si­ble! If you can’t tell, this rail­road house­hold is excited. My lit­tle guy had decided that Trevor must be a “rail­car” that car­ried pas­sen­gers in the back, since he didn’t have a coupler.

A real Geo­T­rax double-header.

And that red engine in the pic­ture up there is the one that started this whole thing: for some rea­son, he’s wanted that engine to be the sec­ond in a double-header for a long, long time. And more: cou­plers on trucks, cou­plers on trol­leys. He’s in cou­pler heaven.

The cou­plers are extremely easy to install. I’ve got com­plete instruc­tions, with pic­tures, ready to post. Stay tuned.

Shortly after my last post, my wife called me at work to say she wasn’t feel­ing well. By that night, she was in the hos­pi­tal, where she would be for the next four days. Tomor­row morn­ing I’ll be tak­ing her back for another pro­ce­dure that will, hope­fully, be the begin­ning of the end of the prob­lems. If you think to say a prayer for her, I’d appre­ci­ate it!
