Walthers had a coupler "mount" that they used on their auto racks, and extra long flats. I used them on my C&NW METRA cars and they worked quite well.( allows the coupler, and draft gear box, to move side to side, giving better dependability in tight curve situations.
The other problem with the "non-KaDee", knock-offs, is that they are made with an "engineering plastic", which is quite "slippery". with the flexible shanks, they will uncouple under heavy draw bar pull.
It's KaDee's for me.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
