Because the couplers wont stay together, I'd guess that you have the older-style Mc Henrys, as they have plastic piece holding the knuckle 'closed' which can easily distorted. Mc Henry's newer design uses a metal coil knuckle spring (like on Kadee couplers) which is far more reliable (this spring is also on Mc Henry's new 'scale' couplers.) If you prefer Kadee Couplers, the #28 and #38 coupler have the same dimensions as the #5, except are insulated (the only difference between the #28 and #38 are the centering springs and draft gear boxes that are included. The #28 has the same springs as the #5, the #38 contains a spring that is to be used w/ the draft gear boxes that come with 30-series couplers) I hope this info helps. Josh Ziegler Yakima, WA
