What type/brand of couplers are you supposed to use in the BW&R rolling stock kits... they don't come with couplers.

 The pockets are designed for Kadee couplers that come with the draft gear and box. The other option is adding a box over the hole for link and pin couplers.

So I couldn't use hook-and-loop couplers?
