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 c

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 Ryan, I’ve uploaded a ZIP file to the group Files containing a possible solution to your F coupler modification. Tim

Thanks, Tim! That was quick. I'm at work now so I'll give it a look when I get home in the morning.

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 I

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 mod

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 ent

Hi All, Anyone have a few of these couplers that would be willing to sell me please? Thank You! Bryian Sones Union Pacific Prototype Modeler Murrieta, CA

Whoops.. For got I was talking to everyone. Sorry...
