The Backshop - Link and Pin Couplers

I'm excited to find that the Backshop, a model train supply company that focuses on O scale, has really nice link and pin couplers.

They have a horrible website. Hard to navigate and rough on the eyes. Says they have been in business for 50 years.

They do have one very handy service: they take plastic parts and turn them into brass!

My biggest complaint...they don't have a catalog of parts available on the website! In this day and age, to pay $4.00 to snail mail a catalog is crazy. Why not put a PDF on the site. Probably be a long time before I order any parts here.
