Inventive Models Couplers as Sergent Replacements

[Hawghead]

I guess I was thinking of just the HOn3 Kadee couplers that have the center mounted coiled centering spring.  Still Eric's couplers are, in my opinion, the much better looking and operating coupler.

I assumed you were talkign about actual Kadee H0 scale couplers.

Aren't the Kadee H0n3 couplers basically MTL N scale couplers? Or very similar (including the split-shank design with a spring? Plenty of slink!  Weren't the N scale couplers originally derived from those Kadee H0n3 couplers?

Peteski:  Yes, Yes, and Yes.  The KD HOn3 couplers came first, but nort by much, and the N 1023/1025 is a scaled-down version of them.  The two work very well together, and many HOn3 modelers use the N scale couplers. especially since the now come in so many varieties.

Incidentally, the HO and N couplers will work together, at least as far as coupling!
