| Message | I model HOn3 and I can not thank you enough for creating this coupler.  WOW!!!  What a HUGE difference these couplers make in appearance and operation. One of the first things you notice is that there is no more draft gear spring bounce as train slack is taken up and let out. Trains now look more realistic as they move. At last, I no longer need to fret about butchering not one single more brass models pilot beam to have a working pilot coupler. Not to mention that the Sergent's look and work so much like the real thing. I've also been installing the EN87 on every new piece of RTR rolling stock as it hits the market. Most times they install with little or no modification to the coupler, draftgear box or the piece of rolling stock. I'm now starting to retrofit the EN87's to my older wooden cars by simply using a 5/32's piece of brass tube stock as the swivel pin and screwing through that little tube to the car bottom in between the car's center sills. I model 1900's to '30's era and the hands on operation requirement of these couplers fit my operating style to a tee! I think there will come a day when it will be heralded and recognized that the Sergent Coupler was one of the most significant inventions to ever hit the hobby.  |

| Message | I'd just like to stop by and say hi again! I recently bought my first pack of EN87's and I absolutely LOVE them! They're better then I imagined, and the rotation is much larger then I assumed it was. They work perfectly, and look amazing installed on a La Belle wood passenger car kit. I must say, however, I'm looking forward to getting the steam pilot kit, whenever it may be in stock again, as I have a few steam projects coming up. Josh |

| Message | These are truly amazing, especially when I recall the Mantua "hook-and-loop" couplers that were so popular when I first "discovered" HO scale models. |

| Message | Every HO scale model should have them! I model South African Railways in HOn3-1/2, and always though my models looked like toys. They now look like MODELS! |

| Message | I am primarily an Sn1067 modeller (running on HO gauge track). I bought your EC64 quite a while back. Now they are not listed on your page!  horror! BUT! you will surely make them available again sometime? maybe die cast like your EC87 for ease of assembly? (hint, hint!) |

| Message | As a kid, my first trains were Lionel, with operating knuckle couplers. Uncoupling ramps (electro-magnetic) were expensive. I only had two. So my dad made me a tool to reach under the coupler to pull down the lever that opened the 'hand', letting me uncouple anywhere I could reach. Later years, when I converted to HO the thing I missed most about the Lionel was the couplers. They were bulky and overscale, but they worked like the real thing. X2-F's at best, were horrible. I didn't discover KD's until many years latter. A big improvment, but I always wished someone would make an operating 'scale knuckle coupler' in HO. I had about decided it was beyond the realm of practicality, until . . . About a year ago I found your site, and ordered a 5 pack of EC87A-125's. These days I'm playing with On30 and Gn15 and I just got through installing your couplers on some of that equipment. I love these things. I had a friend over looking at my test track with the On30 gear on it and he said something about how good dummy couplers looked. I smiled, grabbed the magnet wand, turned on the power and showed him how they work. His jaw just dropped. I'm looking forward to you getting your tooling set-up, 'cause I need some more! Thanks for a high quality product at a fair price. |

| Message | Have been intrigued by these coupler, especially the rotary ones. I'm wondering how they would work on the Athearn/MDC bathtubs, Intermountain bathtubs and Kaslo coal gondolas. |

| Message | I recently had a fellow in my model railroad shop ask if I carried your couplers. I had never heard of them and he was kind enough to send me a link to this site. I would like to have buying information and terms for shops. My web site is: thetrainexchange@yahoo.com I have many customers who would like a smaller coupler to put between their locos to achieve close coupling. I also have a couple modelers wanting more scale wheels, couplers, etc. I look forward to hearing back from you. Jim Thomas |
