As a modeler, I am a sucker for realism, So after reading Pelle soerborgs Article in Model Railroader, I have made the switch to Sergent couplers on all of my rollingstock and engines. the order has been placed and will arrive by wednesday. these couplers look more realistic that the traditional Kadees and operate about the same as the real thing. Can anyone shed some light as to whether this is a wide decision or a not-so-wise decision. On the upside as far as look, if I add air hoses to all of my cars and engines, the look is going to be very prototypically awesome. Which in respect to Photographing my layout as it progresses, THE FRISCO in HO SCALE HAS NEVER LOOKED BETTER!!!|-||-||-||-|
North American Railcar Corporation Announces High Performance MagnaLock Brake Lines Using the Sergent couplers with these air hoses look like the most realistic thing going. They look the best I have seen for operating couplers. Too much water under the bridge for me but they sure are nice.
WOW, I never knew these existed, might be something i will have to add later to really set things into motion!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing the link, Like they say, Learn something new everyday!!!
There has been a lot of discussion about these on some of the Yahoo groups. I believe the OperationsSIG and ProtoLayouts groups have had threads. Probably others, like Proto87 (which I've never visited, being an Nscaler.) Maybe these links will work? Ry-ops-industrialSIG@yahoogroups.com http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Proto-Layouts
Ethan drew these to our attention quite some time ago. There is another thread here on this product. Terry
