COUPLERS, and The People Who Make Them….

Kadee Quality Products Company has been the "De-facto Standard" for Model Railroad couplers since the early '70s. It has expanded its line of fully functioning Knuckle couplers over the last 40 years. From HOn3 to G scale for Reliability and Functionality.

The prevalent Whisker® version in “Scale” and Standard head HO gauge has overtaken the standard shank centering system for their "ease of use," and the same dependability and reliability modelers have come to expect from Kadee®. Our #148 Centerset Whisker® coupler now outsells "Ole Reliable” NO.5® and #158 “Scale” Head Whisker® coupler outsells its predecessor #58.

Please Note that ALL these couplers will work together provided you have them at the proper height, which you can check with a coupler height gauge, either a #206 or #205.

To dispel any rumors, Kadee is not discontinuing our #148 coupler or any other couplers.

Bulk packs of the #148's can be found on our website as #148-25 (25 pairs) and #148-50 (50 pairs) and are available for sale to Dealers, Distributors, and Retail customers on a first-come, first purchase basis. When you search for the product and add it to your cart, do NOT wait and think it will still be in your cart. Later on, you may not get them. OUR Kadee.com website has LIVE inventory, and the product is sold to whoever checks out first with the quantity available. Believe us when we say we are making them as fast as possible. All our couplers are 100% made in-house and go through 7 people's hands before getting shipped to your Dealer, Distributor, or end user.

Kadee Quality Products Co. is entering our 76th year in business and is going strong, with great employees, magnificent products, and wonderful customers. Thank you for your continued support of the ALL American Made Company serving Model Railroad Enthusiasts since 1946.
