With all these new techniques available now, I would like convert my rolling stock to kadee couplers but I am a little uncertain if I need to use transition cars to couple to the lobster claw? Still on the fence with this one, would like to keep my locomotives intact. Thanks in advanced for your replies.

First, you might want to visit the 3-Rail SCALE (3RS) Forum, for discussions relative to up-grading to Kadee couplers.
Second, many manufacturers "Big" or "lobster claw" couplers will indeed couple directly with the Kadee metal #805 couplers. The "big" couplers will NOT, however couple to the newer Kadee #740 series couplers.
Maybe we let these kadee posts and posters stay here until one day so many are using them that they become "normal"? After all, how does the word get spread on how easy, efficient and fun kadees actually are if we only encourage them to post on the 3RS forum? Let's answer the questions and continue the conversations here and spread the word!
