Ah that's looking better! Have you thought about rivet heads? You could use pins cut down, then pushed in...

The best ones for this are Peco track pins.

Nah, can't be bothered. I'll get my dad to order some couplings for it as well. I need them for Sunday because I'm going to Rays for a steam up. Hopefully I'll get to run these if I'm allowed

I got to run the Billy(Mercury)first & that is officially, The first time I run a proper steam engine, It gets better, Mercury was fitted with radio control & the owner let Meldrew take two of his Ip roundhouse coaches. That was in August & I had a lot of fun. I also met a Monty Python fan as well. I hope he's there(he likes me) :D

Lucky, I've never driven anything else apart from my Mamod/MSS Locos! (Well, 16mm wise! ;) )

If you dont get them in time, I PMed you that idea a while back for homemade couplings... You could do that for a temporary measure.
