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.

Sharons for a MTL C&S coal car (gondola)
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.

Re: Recommendation?
Hi,
The "S" scale coupler makes a good model of the 3/4 size coupler of the

Recommendation?
Is there a particular Sergents coupler I should use for On30 narrow guage? I like the operation I have seen in HO but they are too small.
Thanks for the info...

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.

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.
