Kadee Couplers for N??

I recently found the boxes where my N scale goodies were packed away many years ago. Started thinking, got a copy of Model Railroader, read the adds, found that lots had changed, some was still the same. But, I have 1 medium size confusion:

When I packed my stuff away, I was about half way through converting all the power and rolling stock to Kadee couplers. From what I can tell from ads and Kadee website, they don't do N anymore. Are the knuckle couplers from the current suppliers compatible with Kadee's old products, or would I have to start modifying the fleet all over again?

Thanks, Chris

The Kadee company got split into separate companies, Kadee (just HO) and Micro(scale)... something for N scale. Sorry, N isn't my scale.

---------------------------------------------------- Around 1990, the company split into two separate companies. The N scale one became Micro-Trains and continues to manufacture N scale couplers, N, Nn3, and Z scale locomotives and cars.

BTW, other brands of knuckle couplers such as Accumate are compatible with M-T couplers.
