#58 HO Scale - "Scale" Metal Couplers with Gearboxes - Medium (9/32") Centerset Shank
This industry leading coupler features an all metal standard coupler, and #634 standard centering spring and comes complete with an insulated draft gearbox and lid. The #58 Magne-Matic® "Scale" Metal Coupler may be mounted with the included #232 Gearbox or with other manufacturers cast-on coupler pockets.
The 158 "Scale" Whisker® Coupler is equivalent to the #58 "Scale" Metal Coupler.
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. Use the provided insulated gearbox.
