Bachmann do a shorter coupling for a more modern DMU that is shorter. Can't remember the type, probably 15 something.

The catalogue will illustrate it.

A Modellers Mecca type bellows connector helps as well.

As it is not required to have electrical connections a straight bar of the ideal length is probably the easiest.

If you use the Roco coupler heads there is a simple way to block the small amount of daylight remaining between the gangways. 

 

Just cut a piece of dark grey or black foam (springy but not so dense as to be too stiff) to fit inside one and glue a suitably sized piece of card to it so that it can slide across the other one without snagging on it. The bits you take out of those stock boxes that are sold at many exhibitions are an ideal source.

 

You may need to experiment with the length of the foam to ensure it maintains contact but doesn't create tightness between the vehicles.

Definitely Kadee..I fitted then to the Lightweight and also the 105.

Two minute job and now perfect with no gap and totally reliable even on station crossovers.

Cant remember the numbers..19 comes to  mind but easy checked..(both were the same though as on some coaches you need to mix the Kadees to obtain the correct gap)
