Body Mount Extended Swing Gearbox and Medium (9/32") Centerset Shank Whisker® Coupler for passenger or long freight cars allowing negotiating tighter radius curves.

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.

Refer to our helpful Coupler Conversion Charts to determine the appropriate coupler to use on your model.
