Maybe the problems with The Kadee "springs" are a result of too many S scalers
being in the "fall" of life.

Hi John, I have a problem assembling N scale so I use an optivisior for the
small stuff. Have you looked into some type of magnification?
As for assembling the S scale KD's I have some photos in the photo section (
assembling KD couplers album) showing how to cut a notch in a piece of wood to
make an assembly jig. It's a lot easier to get the spring in if the coupler is
held down in a stable position. I've used KD in sizes from O to N and find the
S scale versions are the nicest to work with as they are big enough to handle
easily and also include a set of mounting screws which is a nice touch
