Kadee coupler question

Also, if you have diaphragms or corridor connections you can't always get to the top and it's handy to be able to grab the trip pin from the side.
I will admit to having a number of the original Kadee K series (mechanical) couplers that have lost their pins.

Yeah, cars with diaphrams are difficult to uncouple manually, even by lifting the cars off the track.

As for those older Kadees, I much preferred their appearance, as the uncoupling pin was less obtrusive than that of the magnetic version. I still have some, minus the pins, on some of my MoW equipment:
