Hello Group, I am looking at a rather simple EOT marking devise. Basically a red flag stuck into the coupler. Basically this is a bit of shim brass wrapped on one edge around a brass rod and

Autoracks definitely have a longer shank than covered hoppers or tank cars, but it isn't as apparent as on centerbeams. In the same way that the shank moves in and out of the draft gear

Guys, Finally got a chance to take some photos of my F type couplers. Here they are mounted on an Athearn Genesis GP39X and RTR GP40X. I made no modifications to the models to accept

I took a few photos of these Type F’s mounted on an Athearn Genesis GP39X and RTR GP40X. I made no modifications to the models to accept these couplers. James Wall Rural Hall. NC

Nice install, James. By the way as of a few hours ago, these are available once again. Frank

Back when the discussion started about the coupler manufacturing problems I looked through my couplers to see if I was affected. It turns out that while I had a few bad actors among the hundreds(!) of

Ryan, This is quite timely actually, as I spent labor day weekend assembling and installing Sergent Type E's from the bulk packs on some TOFC cars, ready for use at a show coming up in Syracuse, NY

James, I'm glad my discovery might help you. I'm in the midst of a similar effort - getting models ready for an event - and that's what led to figuring this out. Nobody will

Do the Glatzl dummy couplers mate well with the Sharons... or just with the Type E and F? Thanks, Jeff.

Sorry about that, cat on the keyboard... Haven't seen a whole lot out of people in the group... What's been going on in the Group recently? I put some E's together yesterday and that made me think of

I've been working on some Santa Fe and BN SD40-2s. Of course the Santa Fe ones will get Type E, and the BN will get Type F. My Sergent Users Facebook group has been very quiet also.

I had a small operating session with 2 other guys, one had tried my couplers and was blown away backin the summer, the other guy had never heard of Sergents, so I gave him the job with more switching

I'd bet that it's a combination of sunk cost in Kadee's and/or not wanting to assemble couplers... But I still don't understand superdetailing a locomotive then sticking a #5 on there. I'm glad Pelle

Until such time as Sergent can 1) keep up with the supply demands of such a market, 2) get local hobby shops to stock their products, and 3) price them competitively with Kadees, it's not going to

You might add to that: when more than one or niche manufacturers decide to supply their RTR or kit models with Sergents. Or at least offer them as an option when ordering. But I think the biggest

I’ll be converting my HOn3 locos and cars to Sharons once they arrive (and I figure out how to assemble them). You’ve only got to back up a single-car train once and watch the Kadee slinky action

To All, Not that I mind at all,but I think if Sergent offered some type of centering device,these couplers would gain more attention,just my opinion. I have no problem with no centering spring,would I

I installed well over 200 Sergent Couplers on my HO Standard Gage Colorado Midland freight, Passenger Cars, and engines. I did all the break in procedures, and they all worked just fine. I was as
