Hey guys and gals, <br /> I have gotten my first couple cars for my layout and I am encountering some coupler issues. I bought a dummy Athearn GP-40 and it had hook and horn instead of the knuckle couplers my cars had. Needless to say they wouldn't really connect right and I set off to figure out the HO Coupler situation. I did some searching on the forums and my LHS and everyone agreed that Kadee was the best so I bought a pack. <br /> I got home with my new couplers and open the pack much to my surprise they had to be built [:0] Now I'm not much of a modeler however I love trains and will try my best to get things to work but this was beyond my capacity. I had little springs everywhere and I just wanted to spend some time running my trains. I honestly don't see myself spending loads of time switching and stuff so is there anything wrong with just using dummy knuckle couplers?? Do mechanical couplers come prebuilt? Like another brand? This is in no way a knock on Kadee it's just my personal preference. <br /> Thanks for the input.
