Kadee Universal #5 Couplers Without Draft Gearboxes Model Railway Coupler - KAD10

The Kadee #5 Universal Couplers (KAD10) are the industry-standard HO scale knuckle couplers supplied without draft gear boxes, designed for modellers who already have or prefer to source their own gear boxes separately. Kadee's #5 has become the benchmark HO scale coupler for reliable, prototypical automatic coupling and uncoupling on model railway layouts, and this version gives experienced builders the flexibility to fit them directly into existing draft gear box housings without the need for extra hardware.

Key Features

• Supplied without draft gear boxes, making them suitable for retrofitting into existing or third-party gear box housings
• Kadee #5 profile is the most widely compatible HO scale coupler standard, accepted across a broad range of rolling stock brands
• Automatic magnetic uncoupling works with standard Kadee delayed-action uncoupling tracks and ramps
