A close coupling I've seen but not in train MOC is this one :

I'd like also to remember the very good paper on close coupling and other train related building technics (ILTCO library) : "Advanced Train Building" by Steve Barile : http://www.iltco.org/library/docs/Advanced_Train_Building_SBarile_BW02.pdf (1953KB)
Now, Steve has to make an update with this very good O-train MOC by Jason :)
