Changing couplers on HO MTH engines?
Posted by Eisen on Thursday, December 4, 2014 6:22 AM

Not trying to start trouble with this post. I just don't like the remote couplers that MTH uses. I never have much luck with them. My question is what couplers should I order to replace them? I hear Kadee all the time but there are different numbers and designations. Just looking for something that will hold together well. Thanks.

Kadee has a lot of reference information on their web site, including a pretty good list of what to buy for which application.  If you can't find exactly what you need, send them an email.  They respond to questions pretty quickly.

Kadee makes good products, all across the board.

 On my FA set I used the ones they supplied, which if they aren't Kadees are certainly one of the better knockoffs as they have the same metal construction, none of that plastic that some of the other imitators use.
