My Proto 2000 Mather single deck stock cars come with metal 33" ribbed back wheels.....but not knuckle couplers....so I added Kadees in place of the ones in the kit. I don't know about the couplers in the version of the kit with grabirons already molded on (molded grabirons usually are not as fine as the add-ons, but as I say there are a lot to put on in my kits and I would prefer molded-on if the price was right.  The tiny grabirons often have little bits of flash that need removing.)  My kits provide several extra of all the grabirons to replace those that get broken or fly off into the carpet somewhere.  Thirty-six (incl. foot rails) need to be installed on each, plus the other detail shown.  The doors on my kits are not operational.....must be glued in place. I also added some weight (can't remember if it was half or one oz.) to bring them up to correct weight.  <IMG src="http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u172/dcrane_2007/DSC00477.jpg" mce_src="http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u172/dcrane_2007/DSC00477.jpg"><IMG src="http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u172/dcrane_2007/DSC00476.jpg" mce_src="http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u172/dcrane_2007/DSC00476.jpg">
