Not a very productive day, but I have found the time to fit Kadee couplings to four US freight cars, purchased at an exhibition last week. The ready-to-run Walthers items pictured are supplied with Bachmann E-Z Mate couplings, poor quality Kadee-clones that need replacing with the real thing at the earliest opportunity. I would have liked to have upgraded to Kadee wheelsets as well, but they don't fit well in the Walthers trucks and don't provide their usual free-running performance.
