    Thanks Sol, made a note of that.

    Of course the only problem with knuckle couplings, is that they don't look very prototypical on small wagons.:scratchchin:

    Not that I'm saying T/Ls do, but I do think small Bachmann T/Ls are unobtrusive on small PO type open wagons.

    Ed, your comment about 4 wheel wagons don't look right with knuckle couplers - well most of Australian 4 wheel stock did get converted
    http://www.pjv101.net/cd/images/c113m.jpg is one such example

    All of South Aust stock changed from hook & chain and the like to knuckles many, many years ago

    Oo-err get a 404 error on that link Sol.

    I'm still learning about how coupling changed (amongst other things), but I thought as the PO wagons and smaller wagons became redundant newer BR bulk load type wagons were fitted with screw link.
