Hi Dave


Having watched the video of the sergents in action, I'm satisfied that it provides the freedom to uncouple at will with more prototypical couplings to boot. However, I suppose the pay off is in the loss of automatic coupling that Kadees provide.

I'd be interested to read your take on this - but don't interrupt your valuable modelling time to answer my query just yet - I would much prefer to see your progress on the blog.

Best wishes,

Jon

Hi Jon, Dont worry about taking up my time I'm just off nights so still unable to sleep model function etc There is no loss of auto coupling, just couple as you would a kadee or other similar brands. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdECmydu68M They will also uncouple on curves something which the kadee style will not do. You can manually uncouple kadees no problem with the Rix tool or a bamboo skewer but you really need to have a good view of the couplers which is what I wont have on my layout, all you need to do is pop the magnet stick between the cars and you should be able to uncouple well without having to eyeball it.
