#118 Bulk Pack (25 pair) SF Shelf Whiskerยฎ Metal Couplers (w/o Gearboxes) – Medium Centerset Shank
The next evolution of model train couplers starts and ends with the Kadeeยฎ Whiskerยฎ series of couplers. When we set out to improve upon the venerable No.5ยฎ we knew it had to be just as game-changing as the original. With that in mind, we designed the Whiskerยฎ couplers with an even longer-lasting and more reliable design. We took everything you loved about the No.5ยฎ and improved upon it. No more fumbling with centering springs. No more multi-piece assemblies. The Whiskerยฎ series of couplers is a true drop-in coupler. Use Kadeeยฎ Whiskerยฎ 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 #118 SF Shelf Coupler features shelves that actually work and can be easily modified to look like the type F or H passenger car coupler. Can be mounted in Kadeeยฎ #213, #232, #234, and #242 Gearboxes or directly into most manufacturer’s molded-on gearboxes.
Package Includes:
- (25) Pair #118 SF Shelf Whiskerยฎ Metal Couplers – Medium Centerset Shank
- (10) Spare #622 Knuckle Springs
- **Gearboxes not included**
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 insulatedย #28 coupler.
