Product Information:
G-Scale "SBE" Bottom Shelf Long Coupler Only - Straight Centerset Long Coupler
#948 "SBE" Bottom Shelf Coupler, "Prototype" Head Straight Centerset Shank Replacement Couplers
For #910 (#830) Body Mount Gear Boxes (Not included)
The 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.
During 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.
The 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.
Includes: #878 Centering Spring.
