Hello Glen, I live in Auckland actually and I did pick up a flyer for the Auckland G-Scale Group just the other day. I'm thinking about joining if they'll have me (Noooooooo it's that crazy New Bright woman .......). Any layout I make will be small as I don't have that much space, - and I do like shunting. I've always been a keen shunter rather than a runner of trains, most probably because I spent soooooo much time watching locos shunting the yards at Otahuhu and Southdown. I can even remember watching steam locos shunting (sigh). AND just in case anybody is counting on their fingers and figuring out my age they can stop it right now or I'll slap you one! Right! - back to couplers. The Tenmille L&B choppers are made of a strong and slightly flexible black plastic AND they have an arrangement for being uncoupled by an uncoupling ramp which should take care of any problems with trying to get them uncoupled. I did have a brief experience with chopper couplings while experimenting with NZR in 9mm scale, - and they were right little pigs! But I'm hopeful that coming up in size to 1:20.3 scale will make life much easier with regard to chopper couplings. I'm planning on taking your advice about fitting up different couplers and having a play. That was why I thought I'd build a few 4 wheel flatcars and gondolas from plan No:33 and see how it went. I do have some loop and hook couplers in the scrapbox as well as a couple of 'Knuckleduster' couplers, sooooo I guess if I lay out a few sidings at Carpet Central I guess I'll soon find out what works best. If you could dig out Micheal Hillar's e.mail address though Glen it would be useful to have it as I might like to try his couplings out too. Cheers, Annie
