VO 1000 Couplers

Here is a photo showing the Sergent coupler and the front end of the locomotive.  I did some temporary chalk weathing on the grill.  I like the way it came out, so I will likely use that type of weathering going forward.  Also note that the NWSL Proto:87 wheels are pretty much invisible due to their low "shinyness" profile.

Here is an extreme closeup of the Sergent Coupler. To learn more about this coupler, and how it compares to the prototype and to the Kadee couplers, be sure to visit my Couplers page.

If you're a model railroader, a WM fan, or just like this page, please be sure to drop me a note in my guestbook.
