If you place a wager on whether a train will derail... is that considered off-track betting?

I build my trains out of LEGO, however I have replaced the standard LEGO couplers with Kadee #806 short gearbox magnetic knuckle couplers. What I would like to do is add EOT's to my trains. I searched the Walthers site, but oonly found a truck mounted design. Is there anything out there that is just the EOT that can be easily attatched and detatched from a Kadee coupler? I do not need it to be powered with a light.

Thanks,

You ever find something suitable? If not, you might just have to try scratch-building something out of styrene strips and shapes.

No, but I haven't really been looking. I'll continue looking again once I get my SOO 1003 finished. Which will hopefully be right after I finish fixing up the last three subdivisions of my WSOR system maps. Those should hopefully be done by Monday.

I'm reluctant to use styrene for two reasons. 1, it wouldn't be LEGO, really only matters to us crazy LEGO people. And 2, having never scratch built with styrene, or anything else really, I'm not talented enough to make anything that will look any good.

Fuzzy, (and anyone else interested),

Here's what I have so far, (seen on the back of my SOO 1003).

Now I just want to find a better way of attaching it t the coupler, as opposed to sticking it in the knuckle.
