I have been using Kadee No. 5’s for about ten years with no problems.

Hi David
I would suggest that you take the carriages to you bobby store and they would be able to help as there are lots of different couplers in the Kadee range.

Kadee’s applications chart is on-line along with their catalog and should be of help. Simply attaching a #5 to the floor may result in a too-high coupler head, in which case you’ll need a shank with a lowered knuckle.
