I’d vote for moving now, but I don’t feel strongly.

Sure, go ahead and move me. Mike Van Hove

I am sorry to report that we lost Mr Jim Vail today, I don't know the causes, but let have him and his family in our prayers Michael Looney

Jim, Resin Car Works has just announced a coupler box. Could you speculate on the differences or similarities to your coupler box? Here is a link to their product announcement. http://resincarworks.co

Jim, I would rather be told it is coming out and then be early, then the later. It seems like most of the time the release date is missed. Joe Pyland

Guys, With regards to this new draft gear box being compatible with Sharon couplers, as long as this replaces the Accumate #1031 draft gear box, it will work for Sharons. From my understanding, the #1

Photos came through fine for me, thanks Jon. Looks pretty good to me, too. I assume the centering does not create the "slinky" effect that Kadees have due to the fixed post and non-slotted coupler con

Dale, Very informative comments re: 714 operation. My only HOn3 experience goes back MANY years when I produced ET&WNC kits of a flat, gon and hopper. I only built pilot models but each had 714’s sinc

Modelers wanting closer-to-scale couplers welcomed the Kadee “whisker” and Sergent parts but matching, equally-detailed coupler boxes have not been available … until now! A couple weeks ago, productio

Jon … I just updated my coupler web page to state 1020 and 1031 couplers. Thanks for pointing this out. Yes, the Accurail boxes are the same; not sure why they have different part numbers other than b

Thank you Jon, What an inovative and and useful idea. I just had an idea to add this. You could use some heatshrink tubing to attach the two instead of tape Dale Buxton

Hi all, Not sure if any of you experience some of the challenges operating with Sergent Couplers where it can be difficult to see the couplers in the dark space between cars (especially if your hand c

Sounds good Jon. I'll be looking forward to that. Duncan

Looks like I sent it to the wrong address. I’ll see if I can correct it. George Sebastian-Coleman 11 Taine Mountain Rd. Unionville, CT 06085 gsebastiancoleman@...

I now have HO coupler boxes to fit narrow shank Sergent ENC87K couplers. The big improvement over the hard-to-find #1020 Accurail parts is a coupler self-centering option. Added features are rivet det

Jim, ��� Do you have coupler boxes with the centering spring feature available for HO narrow gauge couplers?� If so, that may make it so I can begin thinking about switching my fleet of equipm
