Has anybody put Kadees on a Menards box car? I tried two of them and I am pleased with the results. I know the Menards cars are not supposed to be scale but I think the box cars look better with scale freight cars than traditional stuff like the 6464 cars so I thought I might try putting Kadees on them.

This was my first time swapping out the claw so I wanted to start with some inexpensive cars first but I might do all of my Menards box cars. Here are two with Kadees next to two with claws. PXL_20210131_224621805~2PXL_20210131_224556027

With the Kadee couplers I'm sure the minimum curve is much greater but my layout is O-96 minimum so I do not think that will be an issue. I'm curious what the minimum is now with the Kadees.
