When we set out to improve upon the venerable No.5® we knew it had to be just as game-changing as the original. With that in mind, we designed the Whisker® couplers 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kadee® “SBE” bottom shelf couplers have a functioning bottom shelf designed not to allow the opposing knuckle to slide down on those dips, bumps, or transitions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the 1970s, the Type “E” coupler with a bottom shelf was developed as the Type “SBE” coupler and eventually became mandatory for all new and rebuilt cars as a minimum requirement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe prototype bottom shelf was designed to keep a broken knuckle from falling to the roadbed and presenting a derailment hazard. The shelf also prevents vertical coupler uncoupling during derailment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe #120 coupler can be mounted in the supplied #242 Gearboxes or directly into most manufacturer's molded-on gearboxes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePackage Includes:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(2) Pair #120 SBE Bottom Shelf Whisker® Metal Couplers - Medium Centerset Shank\u003cbr\u003e(2) Pair #242 Snap-Together Gearboxes \u0026amp; Lids\u003cbr\u003e(2) Spare #625 Knuckle Springs\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PowerHobby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50838867804456,"sku":"KAD120","price":7.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0760\/7238\/6856\/files\/000120_1_5de5cc90-e88d-4ad6-9d82-06abcb265fe3.jpg?v=1778849644","url":"https:\/\/islandhobbynut.com\/es\/products\/kadee-120-sbe-bottom-shelf-whisker-metal-couplers-medium-centerset-shank-ho","provider":"Island Hobby Nut","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
