I never got my N-scale fleet converted over before I started switching back to HO. I think I still have a few of those cars with the different coupler on each end. Got to say those N-scale Rapido basket couplers worked so well compared to the HO (X2F) horn-hooks. Further, I still have not converted my G-gauge trains to knuckles. Once again the LGB baskets work so well - couple even on a tight curve, uncouple with a simple push of the pins.When I was in N scale, the first thing I did was to changer over the Kadees.
I agree with the McHenry and Acumate type plastic Kadee knock off couplers. It only takes one failure on a grade where the rear of the train goes careening backwards only to derail at the next curve and go all over the floor to convince one the 100% conversion is worth it.
