Medium Underset Shank = the coupling Kadee No. 147 is a medium-length coupling with a high coupling height, the coupling shaft is attached at the bottom of the head so that the coupling is higher above the track. The coupling head is made of metal. Couplings with Whisker® are couplings with bar spring for the automatic centering of the coupling head. The Magne-Matic® couplings can be uncoupled with a magnet under the track.
The 17-20 couplers were particularly popular as they fit into the standard NEM 362 coupler pockets. As a result, the couplers are increasingly being fitted to British models made by Bachmann, Dapol and Hornby. In the early 1990s the brothers split up and Dale Edwards took over the "Kadee" company. Later Keith Edwards founded the company "Micro-Trains Line" and specialised in the Nn3 and Z gauges.
