I need to have a standard coupler. From my understanding the S scale sergent
project was canceled? Also, for cars like those sold by PRS I need to find a
reliable source of metal wheelsets. Speaking of PRS, my 2 50 footers seem to be
awfully under weight, even with the extra ounce I added on to them. My scale
"disappeared" so I'm wondering what the unmodified weight of one of these cars
is. Alternatively you could just tell me how much weight should be added.
My standard is the KD S scale 802, I like the operating ease and reliability.
I think Sergent said he's still planning to make the S coupler but has had some
production hang ups so it is delayed, if you plan a small layout with easy to
reach switching and not too many cars you might find the Sergent's to be a good
choice.
For wheels I use whatever comes in the trucks either SHS , American Models, or
Des Plaines and have not had any problems with them.
For weight I just go by feel, trying to make all the cars somewhere in the
same weight range.If the curves are broad and the grades mild the exact weight
should not be an issue. So far on my test track S scale seems to be a pretty
easy to use size with good tolerance of mis matches and errors, I'll know for
sure when I get a layout up and running :>)....DaveBranum
