I have a RTR SD-50 if this is what you are referring too. It comes with knuckle couplers installed. I believe they are the Bachmann EZ mates. This is the style that has a spring as opposed to the standard Bachmann coupler that has the plastic spring bar. If you decide to change them anyways, I would wait till the come in and use the installed ones as a length guide for the KD's.
