Chopper Couplings for Roundhouse Engines

I (think) I saw an advert for chopper couplings to fit Roundhouse engines but can't think where. I've looked on all the traders websites that I can think of and have drawn a blank. Did I dream this ?
Has anyone any ideas?

The Accucraft type will also fit and look great when shortened.

Thanks Colin,
they certainly look like the ones I remember seeing in the mag. I've just been looking at Swift Sixteens website and didn't find 'em.

I've looked at the Accucraft ones at Track Shack for the wagons (which is what I intend to fit to my wagons) but I can't see how these would fit the loco. Is there some other ones?

There are brass Brandbright ones which I've fitted to my Nivelty and Tal.

The Acccuraft choppers are not a straight swap on RH locos, you will need to drill holes.

Thanks guys, I've got some good ideas now.

These are the accucraft ones fitted to my as yet unnamed Millie. There is a single bolt through the back of the pocket and into the buffer beam itself, I've also filled the bolt holes on the pocket off.

That looks good. Thanks for the photo. I like the tool boxes as well. C'mon give her a name for the new year!
