Sergent H0 knuckle couplers for Interurban operations

Some modelers advised me to try out  Sergent H0 knuckle couplers.

I am not disappointed at all, they are not jackknifing, prototypical and finally easy to install. Mounting the tiny cast parts is a little challenge of surgery, but not so difficult in the end.

They are mounted on self made drawbars, 3D printed like the rest of the underframe. I will made this drawbars soon available for all my models.

Ohio Public Service No. 21 (Niles 51 ft Combine)

I received the first test print of the Niles 51 ft Combine and painted it in the colors of the Ohio Public Service.

Many Thanks to Ryan Hoover who convinced me to build this nice car and helped much with documentation.

The car is posed on Taylor trucks, the prototypical Peckham truck frames are ready, but I have to order new NWSL Stanton drives.

The "Providence" fender will turn black, also soon.
