Reply to "Buy/Make Anything Cool Lately (Tinplate Version)"

Sorry I didn’t know a better way to describe it ha. It’s something I’ve seen before but have never run any trains with that coupler. The red Bub coach in that picture had one on when I bought it. I tried to adjust it but it broke when I tried to twist it, of course, considering how old it was. Both the freight car and the blue coach have that coutlet and then a repro Ives tab and slot type coupler. I don’t mind though, for compatibility purposes. 

Thank you @Jim O'C for the information. It’s just something I haven’t seen on a prewar European Train before. I’m used to the Bing, Bub, some Hornby, Basset-Lowke, etc...with the hook and swinging bar or the vertically moving, downward facing hook with the ring around it like Fleischmann. The swinging bar actually attached pretty well to The hook on Lionel’s dreaded “hook and latch” coupler.
