Hi trainmaster1989 <br />Construction will be made easier if you start with an apropriate <br />sized length of K&S brass channel prior to cutting to coupling lengths <br />drill a hole in the centre of the channel ie back of couplers to fix it to the car then a hole in the center of the top right through the couplers. <br />For the pin use a steel split pin soldered so it canot be split the eye will stop it going through and it can be uncoupled with a magnet pen. <br />The link can be made from bath plug chain or bent from brass rod. <br />Hope this makes some sort of sense without a sketch <br />regards John
