Who makes the best couplings?

[alcazar]

Hi guys..screw couplings, specifically, and for LNER or BR(E) locos.

And which are best for diesels? Do JLTRT kits come with couplings and are they any good?

TIA

Laurie Griffin's LNER/BR(E) couplings

Thanks, I know of those.

What about diesels? Same? MMP? Ones that come with the JLTRT kits? If any?

CPL make a whole variety which are correct in detail for their specific purpose.  I fit them to all my 0-gauge stuff.

There's also an interesting (if small) range from Exactoscale which actually feature correctly operating turnbuckles!  They also have steel links which may appeal to some.

I reckon you can't beat Ken Martin's lovely efforts.

JLTRT kits come with their own.  I bought a rather nice CPL diesel screw coupling at Telford, destined for my 108, it looks rather nice to me.

Len Newman of Exactoscale does some good working screw couplings, Standard, GWR & Southern Patterns.
He also lists the long and short D links and  draw hooks as seperate items.
