Description

Kadee Manufactured & Assembled in the U.S.A.!
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 KadeeHO and HOn3 couplers. The coupler has the same shank and offset as the NO.5coupler which will allow the modeler to remove the existing NO.5coupler and replace with the new smaller coupler. The new coupler is made of the same metal construction as the NO.5for 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.5Coupler. The #58 package contains two pair of the new coupler, two pair of the NO.5centering springs, two pair of the NO.5gearboxes, 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. Note: The #158 WHISKER Coupler will work anywhere a #58 Coupler will work. The #158 coupler is the WHISKER Coupler equivalent to the #58 Coupler.
