HO scale Kadee 148-50 (formerly #140) - 50 pair (100 couplers) #148 standard head whisker metal knuckle couplers. Can be used in place of a #5. Bulk packaging, does not include draft gear boxes. Brand new. Made in USA!


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.

This industry leading coupler features an all metal coupler head, shank, and Whisker® centering spring. The #148 Magne-Matic® Whisker® Metal Coupler may be mounted with the available (not included) #242 Snap-Together Gearbox or with other manufacturers cast-on coupler pockets.

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 insulated gearbox or insulated coupler.
