A while back in a discussion about Mk1 coaches someone mentioned a coupling which will reduce the somewhat extensive gap between coaches on the older GF design, unfortunately I can't find the thread.
Would part number "379-402" (e.g. listed here (http://www.petersspares.com/graham-farish-379402-nem-couplings-short-pk20-n-gauge.ir)) be the coupling in question?
Not this one by any chance is it?:-

The ones in your link are for new coaches with NEM pockets, the thread I found was for older coaches with the sprung coupling :thumbsup:

DCC Supplies also stock short rapidos for older stock with sprung couplings.

I've used Dapol short shank sprung Rapidos to shorted the gaps between old Farish stock (Mk4s in that case, but will work with Mk1s).

i got some from russell (who is on this forum)
they are short shank / clear plastic couplers that you can easily add to old farish coaches.

I'll second this. I have a couple of Russell's short-shank clear couplers and they certainly do the job.
