Broadway doesn't always use Kadees. In fact their hoppers will not take a kadee without major surgery, although I understand the upcoming PRR stock cars will come with Kadees. I do believe LBF also uses Kadees. As a note, I've found that McHenry's and EZ-Mates tend to work decently with Kadees, but have a short life. They do not couple on curves as well due to their centering springs. The MkII EZ-Mates and McHenry's last loinger than the MK 1 EZ-Mates, as they have metal springs. These are a great source for blackened springs for your Kadees, once the knuckle breaks on them. P2K Couplers don't mate reliably with anything, but swap out for Kadees easily, as they use a #5 style shank & spring. Accumates work better than P2K's. They'll couple, they don't uncouple easily though. I haven't tried their Proto:HO coupler though, but I've heard good things. Note: I don't use magnetic uncoupling, preferring manual operation.
