Description
Kadee HO #58-25 Bulk Pack #58 ‘Scale’ Metal Couplers without Draft Gear Boxes Medium 9/32" Centerset Shank - 25 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.
Supersedes #12
