The 158 Scale Whisker® Metal Coupler will work anywhere a 58 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 158 Magne-Matic® Scale 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.
