I don't think any kits come with Kadee couplers. Don't let that stop you from replacing whatever coupler comes with the kit to Kadees, though. Athearn, C&BT shops, Roundhouse are all easy to build kits. Next up in quality I would say are Branchline Yardmaster, Bowser and Accurail kits. Further up the scale ladder (I think) are Branchline Blueprint, Life Like Proto 2000, Intermountain, Red Caboose (these kits tend to have very small and delicate parts). Top o' the line are the craftsman kits of resin and wood. This is how I grade these kits, others will have differing opinions. Some folks do not care to build kits and only buy RTR. I do not care for RTR!
