What would you use for my Williams and MTH 18" cars. What about my one set of 20" cars? If I use O-80 and O-90 curves versus O-72 curves do I Need to take that in to account?
Thank you

Mike,
I used Kadee 805 and 806 couplers on my 21" OK Engines cars, running on 072 curves:
I used PSC diaphragms on all my cars (OK Engines, K-Line, and All-Nation) and they just touch on the curves. On smaller curves the striker plates(?) would bind because the dge of one would slide past the edge of the plate on the other car, then get hung up on the straight track.
I think I may have used a modified Atlas coupler (to fit in a Kadee coupler pocket/springs) on a couple of cars. The Atlas couplers had a bit longer shank than the Kadee and the extra length kept the striker plates from rubbing.
Is there an advantage to using the new 700 series couplers?
