Ye Olde Huff And
Puff--S scale boxcars and reefers. They also
have figures and scratchbuilding supplies. Cast
metal parts...
Kadee - S
scale couplers and accessories including tools, centering springs, gear boxes,
coupler height gauge, uncoupler etc... S scale Kadee couplers are #802 in black
and #808 in brown. Note: O Scale #804/805 couplers will attach to S scale
#802/808 and American Flyer knuckle couplers.
Some "S" modelers will use the HO #5 coupler or the #33. I've found the #802 to be larger than the #5 and more forgiving. I've used the #33 on some American Models diesels that do not provide for enough allowance for 802 mounting. The #33 coupler gear box has a better fit than the #802 for these particular diesels.

Engineering -- new S scale type E
couplers fit nicely in an 802/803 type box and the shank is narrow
enough to be used in a scale size box (not provided). The new part
number is EC64. Price is $5 for two pair. The same local uncoupler
(Part MS) used with the HO scale couplers works fine for the S scale
version. These couplers will connect to an HO Kadee #5 but apparently
do not mate with the Kadee S Scale #802.

work with based on my own experience.
