@thomastakenplay1 You should, they are a lot better than the TV series is nowadays. More realistic, and written by the late Rev. Awdry (the original Thomas creator) and his son.
Not dangerous really. Many narrow gauge lines use the single link and pin. We use it at the West Lancs. Just got to make sure that the guard has the sense to keep his hand out of the way of the coupling. So you use the pin to guide the coupling bar into the slot. Safe and easy.
Very much so! I was a volunteer at Ravenglass many years ago and coupled engines up to the trains many times. There is plenty of room to get to the bar but you are definitely right. You make sure your hand is no where near when that loco couples up! You'd lose them!
the tiny ones are Narrow Gauge. They're designed for tighter turns and steeper inclines. Standard Gauge is for sheer strength, and can't handle the turns and pitches of Narrow Gauge.

It's the steam from the injector - the hint is in the name with the cylinder cocks as to their location on the engine!
