Description
#158 Bulk Pack (25 pair) "Scale" Whisker® Metal Couplers (w/o Gearboxes)- Medium Centerset Shank
The next evolution of model train couplers starts and ends with the Kadee® Whisker® series of couplers. The scale size and detail of the #58 coupler has long been popular with model railroaders, so we knew we had to offer a Whisker® version. Behold the #158 - a scale sized coupler with smaller head and knuckle for a more prototypical look. Often referred to as the "Whisker® version of the #58", the #158 features an even longer-lasting and more reliable design. No more fumbling with centering springs. No more multi-piece assemblies. The #158 Whisker® coupler 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 #158 is interchangeable with the No.5®, #28, #58, #118, #119, #148, and most manufacturer's Medium Centerset OEM knuckle couplers. For a #38 equivalent use the #158 in a #252 Gearbox. Supersedes product #150.
Package Includes:
- (25) Pair #158 "Scale" Whisker® Metal Couplers - Medium Centerset Shank
- (10) Spare #625 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. For insulated couplers the #28 coupler.

Realism, functionality, easy to install.
More realistic in appearance. Functions just as good as there other couplers. Easy to install.

layout...
These are the easiest to install almost universally in most coupler pockets of freight cars. I do find bending the metal hanging device upwards saves potental future dragging. The scale size HO work very well and look good.

Kadees are the best...
Decades ago I used kadee couplers and now that I'm back into model railroading they are still the best and most reliable. The whisker couplers are genius, they do not have a crushable spring like the venerable #5s and work just as well as Kadees always have. :)
