Reviews

The reviews highlight a strong preference for these couplers, noting their durability, simplicity, and superior performance in keeping train cars connected compared to older or cheaper alternatives. Users appreciate the realistic appearance and the convenience of uncoupling without direct contact using magnets. Many consider these couplers the new standard, with various models and shank options available to suit different needs.

Fantastic Couplers, Made in the USA
I use the Kadee 148s as my standard couplers now as they are durable and they do a great job keeping my train cars together. I recently upgraded all of my old Horn Hook train cars to the 148s and haven't looked back.
The new standard in couplers
I have just gotten back into the hobby as an adult and find the Kadee whisker couplers to be the new standard of coupler performance. Kadee #5's apparently were the standard for some time but this assembly is more simple and does not have the somewhat dainty brass colored centering device. There are versions available in over and underset shanks as well.
Kadee #5
These are the best couplers made by Kadee. I always use #5 on all my rolling stock
