Dale & Jeff You are correct on using just a sleeve to attach the Sergent coupler. I did just that and was photographed in 2011 HOn3 Annual, (article by the late Brett Payne MMR, Philip Light & me,

Thanks, Jeff. That’s one of the things I like about the Sergents. They are often an adventure in how… But there always seems to be a way. Mike Van Hove

Jeff, let me ask you this, While the Accumate draft gear boxes look great and enhance the look of the cars. I found that they interfered with the truck swing on the MTL Reefers. They hung up on the

The MTL HOn3 C&S coal cars seem to have a different draft gear box than the MTL HOn3 reefers mentioned in the Conder/Niemeyer/Zook article, so I thought I'd share my experiences with them. The coal

I'm an engineer but not on a railroad. I design pipelines and compressor station and processing plant for oil & gas production. Frack on! Mike Conder

I'm much more of a learner than an expert, just getting into HO this winter when I can't work outside on my 1.6" scale live steam track, but I worked for Union Pacific RR in management (Schedule

On the MFCL a few weeks ago, someone posted a link to 3D printed articulated couplings for the Walthers spine car. I believe they were available in metal as well as plastic, but don't

Hi group. I caught my brain in idle today and found it was thinking about Sergent couplers for intermodal cars. No, not the end couplers- the couplers in the articulating position. If one was

Chris, I've had a note to get the narrow shank type F couplers in kit form stuck to my monitor for a long time. Now maybe I'll find the time to make it happen. Frank

Jeff, I spend quite a bit of time at ORNL, but I actually work for a commercial company in Oak Ridge. It would be against their policies to state the name of the company here. Frank
