HO Assembled #5 Couplers

The #148 Whisker® Metal Coupler will work anywhere a
NO.5® Coupler will work.

This industry leading coupler features an all metal coupler
head, shank, and Whisker® centering spring and comes complete
with insulated draft gearbox and lid. The #148 Magne-Matic®
Whisker® Metal Coupler may be mounted with the 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 the provided
insulated gearbox or insulated #28 coupler.
