Thanks for the posting. I plan to use Sergent couplers on my home switching layout. I would like to use them on the modular club set ups, but we get to many "whoop de do's" between modules. We are lucky to keep Kadees from uncoupling at various points on the layout, and end up doing a bit of layout tuning after set up to get things running reliably!
I have a couple of questions.
First, how difficult is the Sergent coupler to assemble without using the jig, or do I need to buy the jig to assemble them reliably.
The second question is since Sergent has discontinued manufacture of the "rusted" color couplers, will the available chemicals like "Rust all" work to give the couplers a rusted appearance or do I need to paint them rust color?
