Upgrading my rolling stock to new Kadee 58 couplers

Kadees are possibly one of the best things about modelling US-outline HO scale - they look right, allow hands-off operations, and seem pretty reliable - the prices are pretty good too. I have a mix of #58s (mainly on passenger cars) and #5s - I can say that the #58s are a lot less tolerant of bad trackwork. Personally I'd stick with the #5s and other couplers as that way they will all look alike - there's no offset coupler with a scale-size knuckle as yet, so cars that need offsets will have the standard size knuckle. www.kadee.com has plenty of useful info and diagrams on fitting the couplers - what types fit which locos/cars and how to do it. <br /> <br />Hope this is of help!
