I think the left hand one is Farish's short coupling - 379-402.

For DG fans, the 2mm Scale Association now make NEM Coupling shanks for use with the DG etched parts. Part number 2-113.


From the instructions:

QuoteRevolution, and a few items from other manufacturers like the Dapol Hymek are to NEM standards
• Most models, including most Farish and Dapol, have the pocket closer to the buffer faces, usually
4mm to 5mm.
• Some couplings are even closer to the buffers, about 3mm. These include some freight stock and
steam loco bogies and pony trucks.
• For any less than 4mm it is not possible to shorten the coupling enough. Either accept the larger
gap between stock or remove the NEM pocket and glue the coupling on directly.

Certainly OTT - paint them black, you probably won't miss the lining on the splashers.

If you do, Fox Transfers you can re-instate them with Fox Transfers sheet FRH2075/2.

Aerosmith Kings and Queens. A little bit different from their other stuff.

I agree the white on the splashers spoil it a bit but shouldn't be too hard to tone them down a bit - better than removing them, just my opinion.

Yes, I'm pretty sure what Mick is saying is true. Needs removing now, @Tank

I've unfortunately seen the one of the mirror not being on an angle.

After I saw this video a while back, I had to watch the movie again. RIP.

What the heck is that about??  

No idea, I'm just pleased you took that picture at a slight angle with the mirror being there

Likewise. Their harmonies and keyboard work always resonated with me
