Just watch the curves. Since the K-line Kadee-style couplers are body mounted, they need wider curves than truck mounted traditional O gauge style couplers.

If  you are talking about the smaller scale-size coupler on the Plymouth Switcher and ore cars, the answer is yes, they will couple with PW Lionel couplers.  They look kind of odd coupled together, but they will couple.
