Real springs instead of little bendy plastic wands in the uncoupling mechanism are essential. I'm learning that I will eventually have to replace all my wanded EZ mates with the ones that have real springs. Hawthorne Village started using the cheapo wanded ones several years ago, so look closely before you buy what seems like a reasonably priced On30 car on ebay, TRAINZ, Amazon, or in your local hobby shop. Best I can tell, Bachmann still provides decent couplers on their RTR On30 cars, but those have become pretty expensive, new or used, for those of us who repaint and reletter for our own roadnames. Buying Hawthorne "collectors' series" cars is a much more economical way to build your On30 fleet.

These couplers work great. They are well made. The plastic material is strong and the springs are very affective.

What is special about these couplers is the detail and their function versus the old style hook horns.
