Brian: Just got back in town (my kids wanted to see Mickey Mouse land celebrate 50) and was catching up on my e-mail when I saw your post. Since no one has responded on the list, I thought I would reply. I have installed Kadee Nos. 5 & 802's, and SHS 1295's on PRS cars. Nos 5 & 802 are the easiest to install because the Kadee self-tapping screws can be used. However, you have to assemble the 802's which can be a pain in the butt (seems those little springs sure like to fly). You may find, as I do, that the No. 5 is too small. YMMV. My coupler of choice now is the SHS 1295. They do come assembled. The only drawback IMHO is that there are no self-tapping screws small enough for the installation (sounds like a new project for someone - uh oh, been hanging around Ed too long - now I am thinking up projects for others <VBG>). Consequently, I drill & tap holes for 0080 machine screws. It is a little extra work, but I think it is easier than assembling 802's and the 1295's are a better coupler IMHO.
