Oh cool! I couldn't see the photos before.

Good idea and the results look cool.

Apparently, European couplers are a significant rabbithole to go down.

Enough so that many RR modelers (at least i nthe UK) use K-D to model operations.

Nice build.

Added Walthers metal wheel sets and added extra tool boxes filled with lead shot for smooth operation and to prevent derailment.   https://youtu.be/Y4pfP0tWldM
