Ok, so since I am "new" (November of 2011) to S Scale, here is my view
on this. I originally planned on equipping all my rolling stock and
locomotives with sergent's couplers. Now since they aren't currently
available, I asked some folks if they had some they weren't going to use
and received a few in the mail. Now two or three pair, isn't going to
make a railroad run very well. So....I have turned to KD's 802 in the
interim. Now once the Sergent couplers are available on a regular
basis, I will re-equip my rolling stock and locomotives with the sergent
couplers and put the KD's up for sale. This to me is the best
compromise. If for some reason things fall completely apart at sergent
and they don't come out at all, I'm still going to be able to run my
railroad.

When I first tried sergents years ago I said they were a good idea but
lacking in development and I still feel the same. For whatever reason,
lack of capital, time,or manufacturing experience sergent has not been
able to get the act together. I still think he'd be better off to
license the design to KD or some other competent manufacturer and just
get them on the market. The longer it takes the more folks are just
tuning them out and moving on with KD's. ....DaveBranum
