S scale, when?
Chris, I read your earlier e-mail that this was on your to-do list. Do you have any time frame for these? I will buy 50 pair.

Problem with SE87K - knuckles falling out 7 messages
I have been assembling these from a bulk order. I'm finding many (some 75%) of the knuckles are falling out. The first symptom is that the cars won't couple up -- the ball won't drop. Then the knuckle

Sergent passenger car uncouplers 3 messages
A friend of mine in S scale has asked me about the availability of Sergent's S or HO scale passenger car uncouplers. I don't think that there ever was one in O scale. Are any of these still available?
