My biggest reason for using KD5's was that I was coming over from HO and had a LOT of Kadee 5's available.
Rolling stock that will be used on the club layout get 802's. Cars that I have bought with 802's keep their 802's (for the meantime anyway). There are a few instances where an HO Kadee works better - one place being the pilot coupler on a E8 - an extended shank coupler gets clear of the pilot. Ken Garber
