A number of Sergents just popped up on eBay - double shelf's and the like. I'm not interested but I imagine some of you are.

Hello, my name is Jonah, thank you for the add to the group. I model modern BNSF in ho scale and have taken an interest in sergent couplers. I enjoy how they operate similar to the prototype and are

I would like to find assembly tips and what others are doing. Get Outlook for iOS

Steve, Thanks for that post link back. I stand corrected. I must have missed that post somehow and when Frank had mentioned zinc in another post I took that to mean pure zinc. Chris, No sarcasm
