Dave, I'll be using link-and-pin couplers on all the narrow gauge freight, and maybe 75 to 90% of the standard gauge freight. I hope to come up with some kind of representation of a Miller coupler for the narrow gauge passenger cars, but will be using the Sargent S scale coupler for the standard gauge passenger cars as they can have the knuckles slotted and drilled to fit a link-and-pin (the Miller couplers do too). The standard gauge locos will also have the slotted Sargent couplers. The Sargent couplers actually represent a later vintage AAR coupler, but with a little filing and grinding can be made to appear not dissimilar to an early Janney coupler.....
