For the Thomposons I use them mixed with Bulleids and the result is similarly satisfying:sons I simply trimmed a couple of millimitres off the back end of the plate at the other end of the coupling, bored a new hole, and bingo! I mix them with Bachmann Bulleids
Since I´m at it, here are my beloved suburban clerestory by Hornby (with interiors hand made by a resourceful and grateful friend), close-coupled with the Keene gadgets (the plates must be carefully trimmed at the sides so that they fit without impeding swivelling. The result is spectacular, especially when compared to the unseemingly chasm imposed by the original "crossbows":

How about a bit more detail on the gangways? Original or add-on? Keen floating plates?
I'll second Sergio on the Keen coupling mechanism - it's a nice alternative for close coupling on tight curves. Keen Systems Home
