From: Alan Lambert Fort Worth, Texas John, Get off your high horse. Until we "The s scale nation" see any sergent couplers made and at ur train shows in mass production for sale. for now all we have are "the kadee couplers". Keep up the bashing of kadee couplers and you might see the death of the "S" sergent coupler that seems to be on the back burner for some unknown reason or we would be seeing something by now. With all of the interest in Franks coupler you and him need to step it up and get production running or who knows we may loosethat interest and stay with what we have in kadee couplers. Alan Lambert

Oh I feel quite sure that Kadee did not have S in mind at all when they designed any their HO line of couplers... if that is what you're trying to say. And as for their two different S couplers... not so... 'cause it is the same one made from the same molds just in different colors... and a different color does not a dofferent coupler make. And it was not even intended just for the S market in the first place... it was intended for S AND the O narrow gauge market. And I have my doubts that the 802 and 808 would even exist it it weren't for the O narrow gauge market, as O feel sure that they just saw an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. Maybe I'm wrong... but it is what I suspect.
