As you can see, Kadee's are the standard, however McHenry also makes a quality clone. P2K and Bachmann EZ Mates look like Kadee's on first glance, but usually break after the first hard bump. Sometimes you won't be able to see what happened to them, they just kinda quit working all of a sudden. I didn't notice any mentions of Kadee's MagneMatic system. The way this works is you put a magnet between the rails or in the roadbed, and if you stop the couplers over the magnet they will uncouple, however you can go across the magnet if you don't stop. <br /> <br />Hope this helps, <br />Greg
