Hello,
has anyone ever mounted Kadee couplers (17, 18 or 19) on a Marklin 30000 (class 89.0 tank locomotive). It's NEM pockets equipped. Thanks for your help.

I recommended you long Kadee couple and i believe it´s number 380-19.
If you feel unsure you can try extra long 380-20.

How do you handle the 'uncouple bar' of the Kadees? In my experience they get stuck at pukos near switches when used for AC/Marklin.

There is work toy you can bend uncouple bar or even better way to cut a piece off the uncouple bar. I have seen märklinist use Kadee couples without problem. I too used Kadee before.

If I can ask a stupid question here. Why fit Kadee couplers? What is the benefit?

I bought a second hand sbb hamo croc from my dealer in n1991. It was on consignment from a retired doctor's collection. He had Kadees in it. Useless to me, so I put the original couplers back on.

Kadee do also have NEM pocket standard by just simple click into it.
