Description

Kadee HO #148 Whisker Metal Couplers with Draft Gear boxes Universal 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.  Use the provided insulated gearbox or insulated #28 coupler.

This industry leading coupler features an all metal coupler head, shank, and Whisker centering spring and comes complete with insulated draft gearbox and lid. The #148 Magne-Matic Whisker Metal Coupler may be mounted with the included #242 Snap-Together Gearbox or with other manufacturers cast-on coupler pockets.

The #148 Whisker Metal Coupler will work anywhere a NO.5 Coupler will work and is a direct replacement for most Bachmann On30 couplers & a direct replacement for most plastic Medium Centerset 'clone' couplers.

Package Includes:

(2) Pair #148 Whisker Metal Couplers - Medium Centerset Shank

(2) Pair #242 Snap-Together Gearboxes

(2) #622 Knuckle Springs
