Not to jump on the bandwagon, but KADEE is the best. I'm in HO and have converted all types of rolling stock to KADEE with no problems. To ease your operation, I found it best to work on clusters of the same manufacturers rolling stock. This way once I figured out the exact height with the KADEE height gauge the rest of the cars usually required about the same amount of shims, etc to be an exact match. Have plenty of kadee red and gray washers on hand, along with coupler boxes, drill bits, 2-56 screws and nuts for you conversions. I'll leave you with this tidbit, for older Athearn BB kits, a KADEE number 47 has been the answer for me. And a change to metal wheels while doing the coupler transformation is an excellent idea as you can then set the car up for good and only have to go back periodically for maintenance. GOOD LUCK.
