Dapol rolling stock kits - which ones come with tension lock couplings?

See the title. I know the brake van does and the Lowmac doesn't.

I'm pretty sure my Lowmac did. Not built it yet as it was going to be converted. However I don't use them and pass them on to my brother who does.

 

All the other wagons definitely do including the Interfrigo wagon. The crane doesn't.

 

Just dug it out. No tension locks and it's in an unopened packet.

Can't give you a comprehensive list but I've recently built an Interfrigo and Meat Van, which came with both tension locks and the original 'Peco' type from the Rosebud/Airfix Silurian Era.

I think it may depend on how long the kits were hanging around in a shop store-room.

 

IIRC, the black T/L couplers haven't always been included in the Dapol wagon kits.

My kit is reasonably recent as it has the website address on it.

 

The instructions are just an adapted photocopy of the old Airfix version and even says paint the body yellow. Obviously a left over from when it had the JCB included.

 

I know why I haven't built it, it's because I wanted better buffers from Lanarkshire MS and a bit more information on them.
