Wow, the only other time I've seen the Roundhouse coupler was in an older Kalmbach book, "HO Scale Primer"...too cool.

I have been putting the Roundhouse couplers on some of my vintage pieces.

The Roundhouse couplers work nice. (not as good as KDs of course)
An uncoupling ramp or a tool to lift the pin is used to uncouple them.

Thats a good idea grabbing those parts. I bought an Athearn Deaalers service kit for the same reason.
