Con-Cor Trains Annouces Our new "N" Coupling System
New Con-Cor Rigid Jaw Coupler (Left), Micro-Trains (Right)
You the Customer have a Choice, you now can order
all Con-Cor rolling stock with your choice of Rigid Jaw or MicroTrains Jaw couplers.
Use of Con-Cor Rigid Jaw Couplers
will save you on average $4.00 - $6.00 Retail per car !!
All Con-Cor Freight and Passenger Trucks have METAL WHEELSETS at no additional cost !
 We admit we have been behind the curve on couplers on our
"N" Freight and Passenger Cars, but with the introduction of our new "Interchangeable"
"N" coupler system, we feel we not only have caught up, but are now ahead of the curve.
There are at
least 5 different "N" Coupler Systems currently in use. The orginal Rapido "Flapper" coupler,
the Micro-Trains brand couplers, the Accumate Coupler System, the new McHenry operating
knuckle couplers, and a variety of brands of non-operating dummy couplers.
Each system has
it followers, and both advantages and dis-advantages.
Micro-Trains is
widely used, by maybe 60% -65% of the "N" modelers as far as our surveys can tell. But its big
dis-advantage is its cost, it adds about $4.00 to $6.00 to the retail price of rolling stock.
But on the other hand
there are thousands of modelers who are watching their pocket books, and are in fact "runners" who
do not spend a lot of time switching cars in the yard. They just want a dependable coupler System
that will let them run trains with reliablity, including those long "N-Trak" Unit Trains we
always see on the "N-Trak" Layouts at the various Train Shows.
The other issue is
the appearance of the coupler, all modelers want a "realistic" looking knuckle coupler.
So we here at Con-Cor
set out to design a new coupler that would achieve the following...
- Have the appearance of a real coupler
- Be interchangeable with the Micro-Trains brand knuckle
- But also be available in a non-working version to offer a low cost choice for our customers
And we have achieved
that with our new Con-Cor Knuckle Coupler System!
Perfect Mate with Micro Trains brand !
#1) The new Con-Cor coupler is available in a non-operating Jaw version that is a perfect "mate" to the Micro-Trains brand couplers. You can
run cars with the Con-Cor couplers in the same train as Micro-Trains without incident. But if
you run trains of "all" Con-Cor rigid jaw couplers,
you can pull long trains without de-coupling
problems, and not have problems with pulled or broken knuckles.
Interchangeable with a Micro-Trains Knuckle "Jaw" !
#2) We have designed our Con-Cor
coupler box so it is very easy to install a standard Micro-Trains "loop-shank" knuckle coupler inside if you change your mind later, and want to replace the Con-Cor "rigid jaw" with a working
Micro-Trains knuckle.
Better Centering with "U" centering spring design.
#3) We have designed our Con-Cor
knuckle with a "U" shape centering spring, so it has a higher reliablity to return to the
centerline than some other brands that use an offset spring.
Con-Cor Rigid Jaw Coupler Even has a "trip pin".
#4) In keeping with our desire to
have a realistic coupler, we even designed in a fake "trip pin" which simulates the between
car air-hoses, but also when mixed in a train of Micro-Train brand couplers, you can not tell
the difference between Con-Cor and MicroTrains even when only inches away!
Con-Cor Trucks come with metal wheelsets.
#5) In keeping with our desire to
have the best rolling trucks, all Con-Cor "N" Freight and Passenger Trucks come equipped with metal wheelsets.
DELIVERY
#5) We will begin delivering all
Con-Cor Rolling Stock with either the Rigid Knuckle or Micro-Trains Knuckle about August lst. 2010.
Yes, they are only a few weeks away! So
make sure when ordering you specify which couplers you want on your Con-Cor Trains model !

New "HO" 100T Coal Hoppers with Cast Resin Loads
New "HO" 100T R.T.R. Coal Hoppers Coming in July 2010 !
One of our most popular "HO" Freight cars over the years has
been our 3-Bay 100T Coal/Ballast Hopper Car. Modeled after a Greenville car design of which many thousands were produced by Greenville over
the years, and used all over the USA by dozens of railroads, large and small. Sometimes you would only find a couple in a string (as we did
recently in Gallup,NM where we took pictures of the Black BNSF cars).. and sometimes in long unit trains on the way to a power plant someplace.

While
the web is a useful tool, we realize a lot of people still prefer
the old fashioned printed catalog, but the increased cost of printing
and mailing have limited how often we update our printed literature.
