><cut> Years ago scale couplers were HO Kadee converted to "S".
>The conversion was a longer shank on the HO coupler.
>Is there a difference on the Kadee "S" made today ?
I don't quite understand what you are asking.
The Kadee HO and Kadee S couplers are different. The HO version is a
little undersize for S scale, and the S scale version is a little
oversize. The longer wire on the converted HO coupler brings it down
to 1/16-inch above the railhead, identical to the S scale version.
>Will the older version still be considered scale "S".
>If not I will probably up grade my couplers.
As far as being considered scale "S", you can use whatever you like.
>Which brings up another question.
>Are the mounting holes the same or do I need to change them?
Yes, the draft gear boxes of the Kadee HO and S couplers are
different. They have different mounting holes and use different size
screws.
