<p>[quote user="rrebell"]</p> <p>Love you guys that replace everything, got 100 pair of Kadee #5's for 10 cents a pair as someone replaced them all for another Kadee coupler!</p> <div style="clear:both;"> </div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p>Ive been giving #5s and 148s away to people in my club as they are needed (not handing out wholesale). Ive got a 5lb bag of #5s Im probably never going to use again.</p> <p>When you change out couplers, never glue coupler boxes shut. You will invariably have to change one for one reason or another. Always use a screw if possible. Ive got about 30 cars left to change out from Kadees, and they all either came from the factory with glued coupler boxes (Intermountain) or I glued them shut on initial assembly when I first started in HO 5 years ago. I thought, gee Kadees are the best coupler available, why would I ever switch to something else. I found something better.</p>
