Kadee 156 HO #156 Magne-Matic Scale Head Metal Whisker Coupler Long 25/64" Centerset Shank w/#242 Draft Gear Boxes 2 Pair
The #156 "Scale" All Metal Self-Centering "WHISKER" Coupler features a "Scale" Metal Coupler (a smaller head coupler which is more to scale and is patterned after the type 'E' couplers) & Metal "WHISKER" Centering Spring, insulated Draft Gear Box and Lid.
The #156 Coupler may be mounted with the supplied #242 draft gear box or with the manufactures cast-on coupler pockets. The coupler will couple and uncouple with other Kadee HO and HOn3 couplers. The coupler has the same shank length as the #26 or 46 coupler which will allow the modeler to remove the existing #26 or 46 coupler and replace with the new smaller coupler. The #156 coupler is made of the same metal as the #46 for strength and rigidity.
It is not recommended to use a metal coupler directly on a metal surface or in a metal draft gear box to avoid the possible electrical crossover or shorting that may cause damage. Use the provided insulated draft gear box.
The #156 package contains two pair of the new coupler and two pair of the #242 gearboxes, and instructions.

It is not recommended to use a metal coupler directly on a metal surface or in a metal draft gear box to avoid the possible electrical crossover or shorting that may cause damage.
