Changing couplers on european material

NEM couplers use a "pocket" fitted to the car to hold the coupler - the idea being that you can choose what type you want to fit (I use the Fleischmann Profis, mainly as they're the easiest to get hold of here). Are the couplers on your cars fitted into a square-section tubelike construction (should be just behind the coupler head)? If so, you have NEM pockets and the Kadees mentioned above will fit. If you don't have those, you'll have to make up mountings and use regular Kadees, which could be interesting to say the least - you'll need the long-shank version of the Kadees to clear the buffers on European stock, but beyond that I can't offer much advice sadly. Hope this is of help!
