Just to complete the list If anybody cares:

 

Sergent old S      11ā€

Sergent HO     8ā€

 

These are based on my measurements and calculations of samples I have.  I’m not 
the best micrometer user.

David,

 

Here's the relevant dimensions of the knuckle face height from notes I have 
handy:

 

Prototype Type E                                11"

Prototype Type D                               9"

Prototype 3/4 MCB                            6.75"

Prototype 1/2 MCB                            4.5"

 

KD 804                                                           15  11/16"   
(KD O scale coupler)

KD 802/808                                        12"       (also same as KD 
803)

SHS 01295                                          11.5"

PROTO Max                                       10 1/8"

KD 5                                                   10 1/8"

Steam Era Auto Couplers II   8 5/8"

 

Hope this helps...

Michael

I have always understood that the #5 coupler was closer to S size than HO.  
What are the relative dimensions, especially the vertical pulling-face 
dimension.  

 

I have also tried the KaDee #118 tighlock/shelf, and unfortunately, that 
coupler is much closer to prototype size than the regular coupler 
model/prototype reductions are.  Now if there could be a coupler like that only 
full-scale larger.  .  .  

 

The 802 as we know is the same head as for On3--what are the prototype size 
relations there.
