I get good deals from www.discounttrainsonline.com and www.internettrains.com also the advertisers in MRR magazine like Trainworld or standard hobby supply can have a good sale now and then...there is a shipping fee so the more you buy the better off you'll be...chuck

Try www.fshobby.com (Flying Scotsman). He has the cheapest prices on Kadee as well as other mfg that I have found. He has a flat rate of four bucks shipping no matter what you buy. I think allot of these online venders make a killing with their 7, 8 and 9 dollar shipping charges. How many times have we spent eight bucks on something and had to pay more than that for shipping. And its getting worse all the time. Sorry for the rant. But if you get a chance check out FS hes a good guy, bought from him many times.

There are other makers of under track magnetic uncouplers as well. Mc Henry's 443-2 costs $1.98. I got one the other day and haven't installed it yet; this seems to work for delayed uncoupling. Western Rail Products 757-202 at $2.98 is for delayed uncoupling and works well; they also sell a non delayed version 757-201 for $1.98.

Both of these products are the functional equals of the Kadee, cost less, and you can get them at your Local Hobby Shop.
