Kadee HO #58 'Scale' Metal Couplers with Draft Gear boxes Medium 9/32" Centerset Shank - 2 Pair
It is not recommended to use a metal coupler directly on a metal surface or in a metal draft gearbox to avoid possible electrical crossover and shorting that may cause damage.
This industry leading coupler features an all metal standard coupler, and #634 standard centering spring and comes complete with an insulated draft gearbox and lid. The #58 Magne-Matic ‘Scale’ Metal Coupler may be mounted with the included #232 Gearbox or with other manufacturers cast-on coupler pockets.
The 158 ‘Scale’ Whisker Coupler is equivalent to the #58 ‘Scale’ Metal Coupler.
Note: Some manufacturers now produce models with non-industry standard coupler pockets molded-on gearbox. These shallower coupler pockets may require slight modification to the gearbox or coupler to function properly. If the model has a shallow molded-on gearbox, a #158 Whisker coupler should be used instead of a #58 coupler. The top of the #158 Whisker coupler shank may be filed thinner to fit the shallower cast-on coupler pockets.
