I over the last couple of years have looked at a few options. The Kadee solution is the last option. I looked at the new close-coupled Hornby and Roco, but they only look good on coaches when coupled. They look bad though on anything else.
Kadee for me means I can run anything with anything. I am going to run my old Lima loco at last and pull any wagon or coach that I have. Up until now it has been a pain with at least 4 different types of couplers on the layout.
I also want to remotely uncouple. I can do this with the Kadee system.
I had to standardise and I chose a system that looks ok on wagons in a siding, behind a steam loco or on a diesel. The knuckle on a Kadee is very similar to many prototype systems so it's not that bad.
