It'll be hard to return from where I am so fingers crossed. Of course they gotta turn up first ....

Sorry they sold out shockingly fast

No worries, I got a few of the previous ones still stuck in the bowels of some carrier somewhere

I bought five from IRM today. Getting worried now, after reading the last few posts.

Glad to have these guys. A bit modern for me, but I did travel on mk2 trains. Fine coaches but benefit from some artificial ageing.

Been playing with the Mk.2 for the fist time with an A in Charge, Goodness me the couplers are so springy they like to uncouple every lap on medium speed. Breaking my heart today there are.

Have you seen the magnetic coupling alternatives by Hunt couplings

You could try the Hornby or Roco close couplings

Or Kadee No 19s

Tension lock couplings are poor performers and look awful. Dreadful pushing stock in reverse over paintwork and short radius curves. The Roco for fixed rakes of mk2 work well, or kadee knuckle couplings but slight fettling is required as the NEM pockets are incorrect height on the mk2d coaches (and the Cravens).
