Hi, I've been interested in Sergent couplers for a long time, and am interested in learning more about them. I'll be reading up ok tips and tricks for assembly as well as operations. Thanks! -Andrew

Hi, I have just requested to join your IO group. I have been a user of Sergent couplers for many years after coming across them on the Proto:87 Stores site when I was contemplating going P87. I use

Hi all, been a Sergent user for years now and am a huge fan of the looks and function of these couplers. Unfortunately I've used up my small supply of lower shelf F's (for locomotives) and my

Hello, My name is Steve Kramer. I am a life-long raifan and model railroader. I have been on the fence about converting my HO-scale fleet over from Kadee to Sergent couplers for years now. I am

As I grow older my ability to see and grasp the couplers parts has diminished; I am 71 years old. If you can spare any of this type of couplers I would gladly pay a premium for them. Thank you for

I have tried to contact Frank via the info@sergentengineering email on the website over the past several weeks. Has anybody had issues with this email lately? If anyone has another contact for Frank

Hi Ryan, Besides STL exports, I can also export to STEP or Parasolid file types. According to Autodesk either of them can be

Hi Ryan, Attached is another PDF showing a pair of FC couplers (top view) with the shelves removed and clearance for a vertical decouple. Tim

Hi Tim. My old version of AutoCAD can't do much with the files as is, but I was able to redraw the upper shelf using Frank's CAD file as a model. The Type F is a much bigger undertaking for me since

Ryan: What do you need to “manipulate” Franks CAD files, or perhaps better asked, what kind of manipulating are you looking for? I’d be glad to try to help you if you want me to.... no

Ryan I certainly hope you're right about the Fs coming back into production. Frank really hasn't said anything in regards and i feel like he's just expecting someone else to take over so he doesn't

Feel free to share all you want, Dave. I'm not on Facebook so this group is the only place I've posted anything. I've seen SE couplers on several cars they "shouldn't" be installed on, including

Thanks, Todd. The shelf doesn't affect the operation of the coupler at all, other than limiting the ability of connected cars to separate. The uncoupling function still works as intended with one of

David I am on the Facebook group and have seen Ian's work and it is great work. However I am looking for operating couplers due to the scope of my operations on the model railroad.

Ryan, that's fantastic work, as always! I really like what you've done with the draft gear. Nick Molo's parts have been a huge help to mean in getting closer to the realism that I strive for in my

That is awesome, how well to they function with the other couplers? Also have you put into any thoughts of doing the type Fs? While I have many tank cars that need the double shelfs I also have an
