Hi Dave. Mr. J English made his own style split knuckle couplers. They were made of Nylon. They worked well. They are larger than KD's. HObbyline used them from 1953 to 1956 the year when they changed to X2F style. The company shut its doors at the end of 1957. You saw add for their trains in 1958.

Here is my set #2 from 1953.
