    Nothing looks quite so goo as prototype couplings.  However there may be drawbacks as suggested above.  Don't go overboard with fitting these.  Fit one each of two wagons and do some testing on your layout.  Propelling is usually the acid test, particularly reverse curves.  The other thing is getting them coupled and uncoupled and there are tools for this I think, Lanarkshire Models springs to mind but I'm out of touch.  I made my own for my 0 gauge stock.

    John I don't have a layout. The wagon in question will be going onto a diorama. I just want the wagon to look right.

    One option, there are others:

    Easy enough to install, make slot in bufferbeam, glue in hook.

     

    But now the questions.

     

    Is this a VB fitted high steel? If so it should have a screw link not 3 link.

     

    What minimum radius do you intend to operate the wagon over? 24" is the usual practical minimum, and larger is better, especially if there is going to be a lot pf propelling on curves. Totally incompatible with set track points in particular.

     

     

     

     

    Hi yes it's the VB fitted high steel. Thanks for keeping me right on the screw link. Are these available.
