David who models HO sent in this question:

“I just got 2 Mantua wooden passenger cars. Can anyone tell me what Kadees couplers to replace them with?”

    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.

  • Richard B. Walter says:

    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.
