QUOTE: Originally posted by M636C I never worried about scale couplers until I got my most recent locomotive. This is a model of an Alco export unit, a DL-500, which is a slightly scaled down FPA-4 with six axles. I had some European made models of this type which were BAD - short and too wide and too high. When I looked at the new pretty much scale model, I thought -"the couplers look too big". For some reason, the problem never seemed important to me with US models, which are quite a bit bigger. I see Kadee 58s in my future. Peter

QUOTE: Originally posted by MisterBeasley How do the non-Kadee's work with delayed uncouping, the Kadee feature that allows you to uncouple cars at the head of a ladder and then spot them anywhere in the yard? Do they all do this, or only some? I've been installing exclusively Kadees on my rolling stock I bought mostly in the 60's, but when I've bought new equipment it comes with other brands.
