I'm just getting back into the hobby after being out for 10 or so years (since I was a kid). I just bought a Kadee coupler height gauge, and it came with a #5 and a #58 coupler. Why would everyone not convert over to the #58's? They're smaller, and I assume work just as well. Also, are people really still using magnetic uncoupling ramps? I'm thinking about going with #58's, and chopping off the metal "air hose" on all of my equipment. One last question: Are the #5's compatible with the #58's? A local hobbyshop owner told me there are, but I haven't tested them myself yet - still need to put them on cars.
