Kadee #147 Whisker metal couplers are HO-scale model railroad accessories for replacing compatible medium underset knuckle couplers. Their drop-in design supports smooth coupling and uncoupling with the Kadee Magne-Matic system.
Product Details
- Type: HO-scale metal couplers with insulated gearboxes and lids
- Scale: HO
- Compatibility: Interchangeable with Kadee #27 and most manufacturers' medium underset OEM knuckle couplers. For a #37 equivalent, use the #147 in a #252 gearbox.
- Package contents: Two pairs of #147 Whisker metal couplers with medium underset shanks, two pairs of #242 snap-together gearboxes and lids, and two spare #622 knuckle springs
- System: Designed for Kadee Magne-Matic coupling and uncoupling
Installation Notes
The #147 is designed as a drop-in coupler for compatible applications. Do not use a metal coupler directly on a metal surface or in a metal draft gearbox, because electrical crossover and shorting may cause damage. Use the provided insulated gearbox or an insulated #27 coupler.
Model Railroad Use
Kadee Magne-Matic couplers and uncouplers are designed to work together, helping model railroaders achieve reliable hands-free coupling and uncoupling across a layout.
