What irritates me most is why KaDee didn't design the 802 to have a 2-56 center bolt, is it the only one that way? Dave Engle

How did the myth get started that KD#5 was too small? It appears they fall in between the Type D and E. Being right in the middle is not bad at all. Not debating on the betterment of either, but just commenting and somewhat surprised. That S couplers are a bit oversize does not surprise me at all. Since the HO couplers are oversize for HO, why not the same for S? Then again, the amount of oversize is darn small -- at least when compared to a Type E.
