Can't seem to figure out how to link to a video.  Can't remember seeing anyone else do it either, so maybe its disabled.  Anyway, here's a link to see how the cut bar works:

Burl,

I had a customer do this in HO in 1973.

It works.

Satisfactory. And you do plan to color the couplers with metal blackener, right? -- Russ

They will get blackened, then a very light coat of paint to cover the solder; yes.
