I've just bought a couple of these on eBay, but they are missing the coupler release arms (I think that's what they are) at each end. Please could someone with a complete wagon post a view of the end of the body so I can bend up a replacement from suitable wire. Thanks in advance.

Giles - which sort of flat car have you bought? The standard 1:22.5, or the 1:20.3?

The first one has dummy arms, the other has working ones.

They are the old sort - so 1:22.5. I can only add dummy arms anyway as I'm using lgb style couplers
I'm also planning to take a bit of length out of the bodies to get the cars down to about 12 ins long.
