You can't go wrong with the KD's. <br />They have been around for 30+ years <br />and generally the #5 fits most freight <br />cars/diesels. <br />KD produces 40+ different coupler and <br />hardware sets in both metal & acetal plastic, <br />conversion kits, shims, washers, coupler height <br />gauge, trip pin, wheelsets and uncouplers. <br /> <br />The #5 or the similar #58 may not be applicable <br />to all equipment and KD has developed the off-set <br />20-series, 30 series, 40 series and the 452, 453 <br />and 454 to cover those special situations where <br />the #5 or #58 is not applicable. <br /> <br />KD publishes an HO conversion list and it's also <br />in the Walther's reference book. <br />You can also go to <br />www.kadee.com/conv/list.htm <br /> <br />If you have a MR April 01 edition, you can read up on the new #58 or go to <br />www.trains.com/Content/Dynamic/Articles/000/000/001/551ytafb.asp <br />Put you pointer over the coupler picture and CLICK for an enlargement. <br />Lots of luck.
