The rabbit hole of the Lima Class 117 DMU deepens! Originally I was just going to remove the somewhat oversized and toy like couplers from each front end of the unit and keep the central couplings. However I thought that I could close the gap between the two cars by replacing the Lima couplings. I had purchased some suitable couplings at the Spalding Model Railway Show so I had what I needed.

Some hacksawing and gluing saw the old couplings removed (old one bottom left of picture) and new couplings fitted (example bottom right of picture).

I think it looks a lot better - but I would!
