Thanks for the info.

This is the underside of one of them - and does look like the original coupling was removed and a new small pocket fitted inside. It does seem to be tightly wedged in (which I guess it has to be to stop it coming out) and just hoping it hasn't been held in with glue. I have tried to gently push it out but it isn't moving. I guess just use more force and cross fingers?

I believe nowadays KayDee tends to refer to the HO buckeyes, whereas the N scale version are Microtrains.     Similar to (but not identical) to other buckeyes such as Bachmanns, Kato, Dapol Easy-Shunt.  That example does look like a Microtrains.

Should be easy enough to replace with a standard Rapido T-shank coupling and spring, readily available from Graham Farish.   Post a clear photo of the underside of the bogie to confirm the type of coupling pocket fitted?

Hopefully a simple question - what are these couplings called?

They are on a few Farish Mk1 coaches that I bought online without checking the pictures closely enough and so I will probably look to sell on but wanted to be clear in my descriptions as to what they are. From what I can see they are knuckle couplings but are there different sub-types, or would that be a sufficient description when selling?

Thanks in advance for the group advice  :)

I will be forever thankful that you personaly put my name on the Forum at the Riddleston FORUM meeting .
We had the B H E trade stand and it was the year of storms and floods so attendance was not that good ,
You came over to me as I admit I was feeling fed up you asked me if I was on the Forum .
I told you I had no clue how to join ,I gave you my Ipad and with in a minute I suddenly had 100s of new friendsthat I wanted to meet .
I allso met Ray and Anna who were there with Ambleton Vale They have become very very good friends .
Thank you for all that you and the MODS do behind the scenes ,
