Just received my first bunch of Kadee # 1 1789's with the new metal knuckle. I knew this was coming about a year and a half ago. Not quite sure why they have changed to metal except that I think there were some complaints from those who live in hot climates that the plastic knuckle would distort in high heat with a heavy train. They seem to operate just as smooth as the old ones.
