Reply to "Kadee uncoupling procedure"

From time to time, I have seen Kadeem couplers mounted to rolling stock and locos in the large scale world by others.  I still use the hook & loop type.  Since I like to do alot of switching, I have considered, from time to time, changing to Kadees.    

But now let's talk about "O" gauge.  Watching the video posted by Rich Melvin, I can see the benefits of converting to Kadee couplers.  

Even though my layout is of the post-war type, I do alot of switching.  It's a simple matter to uncouple a LC+ loco from it's train, but uncoupling between cars is another matter.  

Do the Kadeem couplers get mounted to the trucks or to the body ?   I wouldn't want to remove the electro-couplers from a LC+ loco, so a transition car would have to be used for all switching.  Kind of a bummer.  

What are some other solutions.  If I ever decide to go with Kadees it would be nice to explore all avenues.
