Did they all stay coupled at the first attempt or was there some shuffling about?

Excellent video clip  :thumbsup:

cheers John.

It was getting that way when I ran my 15-wagon container train round the 4'x2' test layout at club  :D

I got lucky and allowed about one brake van length for 'slack', I didn't factor in the mk1's coupling system though so at times the 37 was about 5mm from hooking up, but then 15mm on the straights!

I'm just delaying the inevitable soldering!
