HO Couplers
Richard has a question for readers with experience on couplers and asks:
“As a new model railroader, I’ve been busy buying a fair amount of rolling stock. Some have knuckle couplers, some Kaydee, some a circle with hook. I’m not interested in magnetic or electrical solutions. So,what is the favorite type of coupler for HO gauge? Thanks”

The Most popular coupler is Kadee, Along with McHenry and Bachmann because they will work with Kadee couplers. You will also find out that alot of manufactures are eqipping all of their Locos and rolling stock with the magentic couplers then the old hook horn coupler.
Hi Richard, I am with you. For me I prefer knuckle couplers and when ever possible I convert to them. Just because I like the look better and they are more accurate to the real thing. But it is your RR so you do what you like best.
