I had intended to post about the Spalding Model Railway Show that Mrs. Woody demanded I take her to (well that is my recollection of our conversation) but it is late so something to do tomorrow. In the meantime I did have a chance to do a little more on the upgrade of the Lima Class 117 DMU. I this case I had to decide if the DMU was to couple or not. Obviously the two coaches that make up the unit have to couple, but are the couplers at the outer ends really necessary? Well, given that it is unlikely that I will couple it up to another DMU and that the existing coupling just looks so big and ugly I decided to remove them.
