Also FYI, another way you can do close-couplings is by
using bunches of technic 1xx plates. You can use these as a stand-alone or
in conjunction with the rubberband system for additional strength.

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)

Wow, that's a fabulous resource.  Thanks for posting the link.  It's amazing to
see so many different solutions to this problem.

On the subject of the ILTCO library, I didn't even realize it existed (not that
I've poked around ILTCO too much before).  To the curator of the trains sidebar,
perhaps the ILTCO library section could be directly linked to under the
information or reference sections.  Or if not directly linked to, at least be
advertised.

Now, Steve has to make an update  with this very good O-train MOC by Jason :)


Sounds intriguing.

Thanks for sharing!

You're very welcome!
