Kadee 3 HO

#3 Assembled #148 Whisker® Metal Couplers - Medium Centerset Shank

The next evolution of model train couplers starts and ends with the Kadee® Whisker® series of couplers. When we set out to improve upon the venerable No.5® we knew it had to be just as game-changing as the original. Often referred to as the "Whisker® version of the No.5®", the #148 has dethroned the classic #5 with an even longer-lasting and more reliable design. We took everything you loved about the No.5® and improved upon it. No more fumbling with centering springs. No more multi-piece assemblies. The Whisker® series of couplers is a true drop-in coupler. Use Kadee® Whisker® couplers in your next model and enjoy the most reliable and smooth coupling experience you've ever had. Always made right here in the USA with legendary Made In America quality.

The #3 is a fully assembled coupler that is ready to mount directly onto your models. We know that not everyone has the time or dexterity to fiddle around with small parts so we've preassembled the #148 Whisker® couplers into #242 gearboxes ahead of time. Adding Kadee® couplers to your models couldn't be easier.

Package Includes:

• (2) Pair Assembled #148 Whisker® Metal Couplers in #242 Gearboxes
• (2) Spare #622 Knuckle Springs

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.

We've designed every product to work harmoniously with the Magne-Matic® system so that you can focus on enjoying your hobby instead of troubleshooting issues.
