These Kadee "whisker" couplers are the happy medium between plastic knuckle couplers and the original Kadees. I use Bachmann EZ-Mate couplers most of the time, but sometimes the Bachmann shanks are too thin for the gearboxes, so they have too much vertical movement. The Kadees have thicker shanks, so they make a better fit where the Bachmanns are too loose. They are certainly more durable than plastic couplers, and the whiskers allow you to mount them quickly. Thanks, Kadee, for a great coupler!

Quality couplers for decades. Very reliable, do not separate of bend under load, these are the industry standard couplers all others wish they were. Highly recommended.

I've tried others but they all had issues. Plastic head couplers are not durable and non-centering couplers do not couple reliably, especially on curves. Don't waste your time and money on lower cost brands as I did early on and have been replacing them with Kadee "Whiskers" as they fail.

I hadn't bought couplers in decades and when I needed some I searched for Kdee. I saw the #148's advertised and bought 25 pair because I knew I wouldn't be disappointed. I have installed about half of them and I think they are the greatest. Easy to install and all work perfectly.
