I've only got one of these cars as yet (A Pullman 6-6-4 Sleeper), and I've found that Kadee #5s are a straight swap, resulting in the correct coupler height. I did think about using graphite in the bearings but considering the tendency of this stuff to get everywhere I used some "Vaseline" petroleum jelly - this seems to work ok, I've noticed a drop in rolling resistance, no squeaks or groans, and the lighting kit works well (these are definitely worth buying, very easy to fit and an even glow at scale speeds). All in all, these are excellent cars and good value for the money - over here they're priced about the same as Fleischmann (German) passenger cars, and the quality is roughly equal in my opinion.
