I keep looking, but as they are not very prototypical for a GWR era layout, I talk myself out of it. Also my stock runs on club layouts, which make different couplings a challenge. 

 

I've a handful with sprat and winkle, but they are such a pain.. And a challenge to build. 

 

But, hands free shunting looks so amazing..... 

If you want it to look and be prototypical then 3 link IS the only answer I'm afraid.

Kadee are closer and far less bounce between stock than a std HornBac coupling and a fair bit neater IMHO.

Which is why I keep coming back to them, not going to argue... 

 

Maybe need to find a UK stockist and have a real play... Thanks.. 

Pity you not local Scott, You'd be welcome to come and give them a try out.

Everyday the milk arrives, then goes to waste as the dairy isn't present 😀

The Dairy means building ANOTHER KIT, see next Fridays Video for kit building details. 😮

Maybe Andy just leaves the tank in the lovely Trewithen sunshine for an afternoon and then sends it back out as yoghurt!

Oiy, behave, 😂  🤣

I was once told to behave by a work colleague. Many many years ago and I remember saying I am behaving but rather badly 😝

Maybe the tanks have been cleaned out and its now carrying beer for the pub.

Or maybe it's not for the pub. Perhaps it's because the pubs customers can't get a pint due to the fact that the steps are still missing🤣

Blame the Planning Dept for the No Steps situation Shaun, Blooming local Councilors are useless around here. 😮🤣.

Building kits is my go to when my mojo has gone off. That’s why I’ve far more wagons than I need. 
 

I like your idea of moving the tunnel to increase the visible run length. Maybe flattening the curve would improve the visual as well?

 

I would also suggest extending the goods shed line a tad so you could shunt a wagon or two through the shed and unload directly to a lorry or van alongside. Would improve the play element with having to use a cut of wagons to deal with the movement to keep the engine out of the shed.
