  • Kadee Whiskers are the Happy Medium

    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!

  • Best couplers bar none.

    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.

  • Kadee whiskers works very well

    Been a long time fan of the Kadee 5 couplers for fifty years. With some modifications to my Athearn engines I did I tried these with the 252 coupler boxes. perfect match, perfect fit !

  • Reliable & durable

    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.

  • Kdee is great

    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.

  • GREAT PRODUCT BUT

    Received on time, works well as expected after installed, but about half of the knuckle springs were loose in the package. yes they can be put back on but its very time consuming, especially for a 72 year old man. I would expect better from a quality company charging a premium price foe their product.

  • Stellar product.

    Best couplers on the market! These are a breeze to swap. just about done switching all my locomotives, and rolling stock to Kadees. Highly recommended!

  • #148 Bulk Pack

    Makes putting Kadee Couplers on a locomotive or car easy to install. Easier to store one bulk pack than a bunch of small envelopes.

  • You can't go wrong...

    After finally using Kadee couplers, I finally realize why so many model rail road clubs require them. beautiful, AND reliable!
