      Kadee couplers work great

      Very satisified with product. Converted 25 1970s couplers with ease

      Kadee’s are the best!

      I run long trains of 80 cars or more on my club’s 400-foot HO-scale modular layout as an exhibitor at train shows. In pulling all that weight, no other coupler holds up as well as the Kadee brand does. I’ve tried all the other brands, and ultimately end up changing them out with Kadee couplers. Sometimes at the shows, I buy additional cars both new and used, but I always change them out before putting them on the layout.
