I use what comes with the kit, unless they have supplied horn-hook (NMRA) couplers, in which case I replace with Kadees. I find all of them compatable and usable. I have never experianced a failure of any of the knuckle couplers in 18 years. Others state they have. If I find this starts happening, they will be replaced with Kadees. I think the Kadee spring plate is the weak link in Kadee couplers. The spring action is weaker to one side, than the other and this appears how the spring was designed. I am uncertain of the reason for this and find that Kadees will hang-up when swung to the weak side, occasionally. Otherwise, Kadee provides a superior product and I feel they are the industry leader!
