HO "Scale" Metal Coupler Metal Medium
(19/64") Centerset Shank
2 Pairs
#58

The #58 Kadee® Magne-Matic® Coupler features a "Scale" Metal
Coupler (a smaller head coupler which is more to scale and is
patterned after the type 'E" couplers), insulated #232 Draft Gear
Box and Lid with side and center screw holes for mounting. The
#58 Coupler may be mounted with the supplied #232 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 and offset as the NO.5®coupler
which will allow the modeler to remove the existing NO.5®coupler
and replace with the new smaller coupler. The new coupler is made
of the same metal construction as the NO.5®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 or use the very strong
plastic isolated #28 Coupler which has the same mounting
dimensions as the NO.5®Coupler. The #58 package contains two pair
of the new coupler, two pair of the NO.5®centering springs, two
pair of the NO.5®gearboxes, and instructions. Please note: that
the knuckle spring required for this coupler is the new #625, not
the #622 which is used on other couplers.
