Just had a quick look at the link, but it doesn't say how many couplings you can convert, and for £8 I'd want a few  ;) ;)

Cheers

5,  thats an odd number in more ways than one,  so thats 2 and 1/2 wagons, or 5 match wagons or various other combinations.....

Following the link from Andy above, Dapol also quote "For those modellers who want to convert a lot of stock, we have also released to stockists 2A-000-014 a pack of 20NEM pockets RRP £12.95." But I don't see them on the Hattons site.

Cheers

IIRC you get 5 pairs (i.e. 10 couplings) plus the gauges / jigs in the c £8 pack, or 10 pairs (20 couplings) but no gauges / jigs in the c £12 pack...

Maybe it's 5 couplings so that you can convert one end of a loco + 2 coaches or wagons!!!

Or maybe it's just a bean counters way of making us buy more packs  ;) ;)
