The SE Narrow Gauge & Shortline Museum has an immediate need for ONE 3/4 Janey or Sharon Coupler in order to complete a project that has entered the home stretch. We really need a total of FIVE, but just an immediate need for the single.

Thanks

Matt,

If you cannot find a good used one for free or cheap, the 3/4 "Sharon10" couplers are still available new from Irwin Car & Equipment in Pennsylvania. They ran about $2,200 each last time I placed an order, and they can do different lengths and styles of shank to meet the needs of the car. Bill Springer was my contact up there for the couplers.

Hope this helps,

Matt,

Please send measurements and a photo of the Sharon needed. Then, I can match it to the ones we have.
