Just to clarify, I wasn't trying to disparage Sergent, but rather to defend the #5.

Regardless of they size of a Kadee #5, I have full faith that Frank Sergent's proposed Sharon coupler will be quite accurately sized for its given prototype. The earlier version of his coupler was a very accurate reproduction of the Type E that would be appropriate for Bud's diesels and all cars built after 1930 (the Type D was not to be manufactured after 1934.)
