[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by samgolden KD are the best in my book. My biggest gripe is: KDs have been around for so long, why don't the rolling stock manufacturers make the coupling box compatable so you can just change them without having to fit a special (underset or overset) coupler in order to get the height requirement. I can see using different length couplers but not the height. I don't think I have ever seen a Prototype coupler that the height was off set. Sam [/quote] \We all prefer Kadee's for their reliability and they are no doubt the standard for the industry for over forty years. The new kids on the block are trying to make a living and offering lower cost items, but we keep replacing them because we really want the best. I noticed BLI and Overland install Kadee's along with the cars Kadee makes. The new Zephyr cars have Kadee's. At least some of the companies are getting the idea. Next time you send an email to one of the importers, let them know we prefer KD's on all of our locomotives and cars.
