Russel is on the right track but in the wrong gauge. The Micro-Trains couplers were originally Kadee but Kadee decided to focus on HO and sold the N scale line to Micro-Trains several years ago.

Im surprised by your response: there are no Kadee couplers available for Nscale. I have gone to microtrains

The easiest way to replace them would be to buy Micro trains trucks with integrated couplers. Just swap out the trucks and you are good to go, assuming you are replacing truck mounted couplers. Pay attention, though, to any passenger cars or exceptionally long freight cars. Those will need long shanked couplers.

They are readily available from any reputable train store. Whichever brand you go for, it is usually best to have all your locos and rolling stock using the same ones. To ease the costs, keep one car with a ne coupler on one end and the Kato coupler on the other end. This ill give you the “link” so you can still use all your cars.
