I started using Kadee couplers,and I still like them,though I am now using the McHenry's,on some if not most of what I have of new freight car kits. I happen to like them far better than the Kadees now,as I dont have to be dealing with the springs on the Kadees not properly fitted into the slots of the knuckle.Its a real "wonderful" experience trying to put that spring back into the slot of the Kadee coupler[:(!]. The minute you figure that it is in,BAM,that little sucker goes flying off into the land of nowhere.. Also, when you have a some-what limited budget per year to spend on MR equipment,you try to get good quality for the buck. And at $30.00 for a bulk set of Kadees,thats a bit steep for me,when I can get a bulk pack of McHenry's for half the cost. ( granted I'll probably hear alot about this but I dont care)The equipment that I have, that are using McHenrys are my Athearn 25th Anniversary GP38-2,and caboose,among many tank cars,box cars,flats,hoppers,and all the rest,including those made by Bachmann and Tyco. I'm sure that there are others that will probably say "Its your layout and equipment and you can use whatever you damn well please" Thank -you.[^]
