Oh I feel quite sure that Kadee did not have S in mind at all when they 
designed any their HO line of couplers... if that is what you're trying to say. 
 And as for their two different S couplers... not so... 'cause it is the same 
one made from the same molds just in different colors... and a different color 
does not a dofferent coupler make.  And it was not even intended just for the S 
market in the first place... it was intended for S AND the O narrow gauge 
market.  And I have my doubts that the 802 and 808 would even exist it it 
weren't for the O narrow gauge market, as O feel sure that they just saw an 
opportunity to kill two birds with one stone.

Maybe I'm wrong... but it is what I suspect.

  I am not convinced this is a fair characterization of Kadee.  After all Kadee 
has many different HO couplers that work fine in S and S-narrow.  They also 
have two different S couplers (brown and black) that seem to be quite popular.  
And they also have some On3 couplers that are very adaptable to S in seconds 
(bend the trip pin).
