The #119 SE coupler has the patented Kadee ‘Whisker’ centering spring intergraded into the shank and is now a once piece drop in coupler. The top shelf can be removed and the coupler will then represent the bottom shelf Type ‘SBE’ coupler. There would be no reason to remove the bottom shelf since our #58 and #158 already represent the standard Type ‘E’ coupler with a medium shank and our short shank #153 and long shank #156 also are ‘scale head’ couplers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eThe #119 is an all metal, scale head, medium length, centerset coupler with the same basic mounting dimensions as our #5, #148, #58 and #158 couplers. It has been designed and tested to function with all of Kadee's HO and HOn3 couplers, standard and scale head. Note that the top hood protrudes quite a bit and may interfere with bodywork on certain models. So there will be certain mounting limitations with the height of the top hood. The #118 and #119 are ‘fully functional’ shelf couplers. When two #119 couplers or a #119 and a #118 SF shelf couplers are coupled together the bottom shelves will keep the knuckles from sliding up or down out of each other. With these shelf couplers you can no longer simply pick up a car and expect the couplers to slip apart. You need to slightly twist the cars for the couplers to disengage or you'll end up lifting the whole string of cars\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eThe #119 is a Type ‘SE’ shelf coupler and was used in the early 1970's. If you wish to modify the #119 into a Type ‘E’ bottom shelf coupler to be used from 1954 onward you can simply trim off the top shelf. Carefully snip off the thin top shelf area down to the level surface of the coupler head then file the area smooth and touch it up with black paint or appropriate weathering. Care should be taken not to get paint in the hinge of the coupler head. Also, by removing the bottom shelf as well as the top, the #119 can represent the Type ‘E’ coupler.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003ePackage Includes:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e(2) Pair SE Shelf Metal Whisker Magne-Matic Metal Coupler -
