Go to the following Kadee Coupler Conversion Site,www.kadee.com/conv/list.htm KD presently produces 40 different coupler and hardware sets in both metal and acetal plastic, conversion kits,shims,washers, coupler height gauge,trip pin,wheelsets and four uncouplers. As you will see the KD#5 is not applicable to all equipment and KD has developed the 20-series,30-series,40 series and the 452,453,&454 to cover those special situations. In addition to the KD#5, there is also a new KD#58 overall smaller in size and closer to scale dimensions as the common prototype E coupler except for its overall length over the coupler. This new #58 will work well mixed with the older KD coupler, but you would have two different style heads coupled together. You will need the trip pin and height gauge when converting. Happy railroading.
