Being that the Walther's Proto-Max are HO couplers, how well do they perform with KD 802/808 or KD #5 and how do they compare in size? The Proto-Max 6000 are for freight cars. Has anyone used the others in the 6000 series with diesels or passenger cars in S scale? Thank you.

I have been using them (and the short shank variation) for several years. I have usually had to ream the center mounting holes with a 2-56 clearance drill for 2-56 machine screws, although I suppose 1-72 screws would work if the holes in Ace conversions would hold a 1-72 thread. I've never tried that. Also, the coupler boxes are too wide for the side mounting holes to line up with the alignment bosses on Ace conversions. I usually remove these flush with the coupler mounting surface.
