does any one use screw link couplings for their locos and rolling stock?

Never heard of them... Got a link or a pic?

I use the ones from N Brass Loco for detailing but haven't used any for actually coupling together.

Heres a picture  showing the coupling  Flakmunky

Thanks. I have heard of those, brain not working... I thought the op was talking about a functional n gauge coupler..

I'll get my coat!

here is a pic of it

That's interesting.  I assume you haven't used it otherwise you wouldn't be asking.  What make is the one in your picture?  Or do they come with the wagons?

they are Dapol ones and come in the detail pack with the silver bullets and probably any other resent rolling stock

I assume the ones that come with the wagon are only meant for detailing and not actually coupling together.

Does it work well?  Is it reliable?

they are very reliable better than other couplings a part from draw bars, the Dapol ones are very good you can hold one wagon and have another hanging from it and even swinging without uncoupling so I would give the 10/10  coupling heights not a problem buffer beam heights not a problem not even bumpy hilly track will have an effect

Good to know. 

have a look how great they are

Where can I buy these couplings from? I    but no luck.

Thanks

Welcome to the madhouse Woolley, some one will be along shortly with an answer I'm sure but have you tried using the search feature to see if it has been asked before?
