Prototype History: Cut Levers (or 'Cut Bars') are used to vertically lift or pull the coupler pin on all rolling stock. Simply put, these long, horizontal levers give train crews the leverage needed to open or close a coupler. This style of Cut Lever is common on many GE diesel locomotives produced during and beyond the early-mid 1970's. Model Description: Chemically-etched in stainless steel for durability and scale fidelity, our General Electric-type cut levers follow a similar design to our EMD Modern Cut Levers, requiring minor bending. Included in each set are four cut levers, mounting pins, and a drill template. Model Features: €¢ Etched in .006" Stainless Steel €¢ Accurate Dimensions €¢ Razor Sharp Etching €¢ Mounting Pins Included
