Linking Couplers

Jim is having a problem with non-compatible couplers and wants to hear from others who have struck the same problem:

“As a newby in the model train hobby, I wish someone had told me to stick with one type of coupler. I didn’t know there were so many and that they don’t match! I bought a conversion kit to make all my units Micro-train compatible, but had no idea it was so hard! Between my lack of experience and coordination and bi-focals, it is more than I can accomplish. Does anyone have a short cut, or do I just go and buy some new gear with all the same couplers? Thanks for the help of your readers.”
