Lars, <br /> <br />Freight car models are made with a coupler pocket where the couplers are mounted to the cars (and Locos). The kits will be furnished with a coupler, but most of us usually install our favorite brand and leave the original couplers in a box (anyone need about 300 horn hook couplers?). Most of the HO modelers use a variety of coupler produced by Kaydee. I use Kaydee #5 couplers in my stuff. Kaydee has since produced a #58 coupler which is closer to scale than the #5 but not everyone likes it. For myself, since I would have to change out over 100 freight cars, it's not on the top of my 'To-Do' list. You should consider it since you are beginning all over again. <br /> <br />Good Luck. - Ed
