@Tom Stoltz posted:A fair number of S gaugers use Kadee #5s. They have much closer coupling... some even think they look closer to S scale in size. And they don't have that slack action, easier to put together, and the new whisker versions are even better.

I've pretty much minimized the slack action of the 802's by doubling the spring in the draft gear box. There's enough extras in the package and half the time there's some doubled up anyway.
