#115 Whisker® Metal Couplers & Log Car Gearboxes - For use with Kadee® Log Cars


The next evolution of model train couplers starts and ends with the Kadee® Whisker® series of couplers. When we set out to improve upon the venerable No.5® we knew it had to be just as game-changing as the original. Often referred to as the "Whisker® version of the No.5®", the #148 has dethroned the classic #5 with an even longer-lasting and more reliable design. We took everything you loved about the No.5® and improved upon it. No more fumbling with centering springs. No more multi-piece assemblies. The Whisker® series of couplers 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 #115 Whisker® coupler features our superb #148 couplers and special Log Car Gearboxes & Lids.

For use with Kadee® Log Cars and other cars or locomotives that require a lower profile draft gearbox.

Package Includes:

  • (2) Pair #148 Whisker® Metal Couplers - Medium Centerset Shank
  • (2) Pair Log Car Snap-Together Gearboxes & Lids
