You're Still The One
As always - Excellent! Kadee has a whole line of couplers that match almost any model railroad car. If starting out, one could consider the semi-scale models. Otherwise, those of us who have had cars for years stick with the #5's. The fact that they are metal vs. plastic makes them a safety factor when / if there is an accidental 'crash'. The two styles can be mixed and usually work, but not as consistently. Great couplers for 50+ years.Read full review...

Title is fine
These Kadee couplers are nice and very realistic. However, they do not fit well on Athearn kit cars or my older Athearn PRR switcher. The description should identify on which ho products these couplers would work best.Read full review...

Hard to find DOORS
Missing sliders to older Tyco boxcar. 1st set doors purchased to wide& tall. 2nd set still tall but narrower began to realize 6ft was width not height.
Filed mm. off bottom of door for height adjustment also on boxcar, door does open not pretty but a daily user. WISH diementions were listed on package/advertisement in mm. width/height as some boxcars taller.
I have several with this slider system, must be thousands out there broken.
Never the less a very helpful product. Thanks....1eddRead full review...

Couplers that work right every time!
KD #5s have been my go to replacement couplers for years. Fit easily in Blue Box, MDC/ Round House, LBF/Hubert/E&C. IMRC Value Line kits, and just about any other brand out there. Best upgrade there is.Read full review...

New couplers by kadee
Some things stand the test of time. I have been modeling toy trains for over 50 years or more and have never had a Kadee coupler fail. The couplers were the standard then and are the standard now. Their customer service is second to no one in the toy train business that I know. Thank You.........Read full review...

They're all I use these days.
Been in HO scale before the Kadee 5 & 10's had the delayed springs and became good old No.5's. In fact I may have the only stockpile of the old centering springs that make the old couplers work like the new "whisker" versions. I only use this size (No.5) and do not intermingle the heads either. Having a single head size improves operations and reliability, despite what some experts claim. Operation is more important to me than is a more scale appearance, but to each their own. Kadee couplers work very well for me and I'd never think of using anything else.Read full review...

These are the industry standard that all other couplers are measured by
Have been using these couplers since 1971. they are easy to install in place of the original couplers and if you have trouble you can go to the KaDee site and get help. Highly recommend them to any modelers looking for better looking and operating couplers.Read full review...

RELIABLE PRODUCT
Very reliable couplers, can be used in almost all H0 brands with no issues to apply them. Consider the possibility to add in the packages a few standard screws like a sample of how to use them.

Bulk Kadee couplers are the way to go
For those of you changing from horn hook couplers this is the way to go. Change a lot of cars really fast. I recommend also ordering to packs (10 pair each) of Kadee #232 plastic draft gear boxes to mount them in at the same time.Read full review...

Kadee bulk pack value
Typical Kadee quality at a good price. If you can afford to buy in bulk, do so. The price per pair is much less than buying 2 pair in the paper envelopes. Highly recommended. From a modeler that's been in HO scale for 40+ years.Read full review...

The Best Couplers You Can Buy
Great value and performance for all your trains. Stronger and sturdier than most other couplers. Simple installation in most trans cars and locomotives. Allow longer manifest trains to run smoother with fewer problems. A standard at most Clubs and Organizations.Read full review...
