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. The #153 is a Short Centerset scale sized coupler with smaller head and knuckle for a more prototypical look. The #153 features an even longer-lasting and more reliable design. No more fumbling with centering springs. No more multi-piece assemblies. The #153 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe #153 is interchangeable with the #23, #33, #143, and most manufacturer's Short Centerset OEM knuckle couplers. For a #33 equivalent use the #153 in a #252 Gearbox.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePackage Includes:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e(2) Pair #153 \"Scale\" Whisker® Metal Couplers - Short Centerset Shank\u003cbr\u003e\n(2) Pair #242 Snap-Together Gearboxes \u0026amp; Lids\u003cbr\u003e\n(2) Spare #625 Knuckle Springs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt 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.
