@derail14 Chain and buffer, not link and pin. Very different systems.

@camsprocketpinion nor hi-vis!

@derail14 buckeye coupling is standard nowadays which is internationaly recognised as the safest detachable coupling however permanant couplings are becoming more prevelent as spliting trains is far less common all UK stock these days have head lamps originaly because semaphore signals only had oil lamps light polution caused by on coming trains fitted with head lamps was the reason it was not adopted until some time after the introduction of much brighter colour light signalling
-
@derail14 No pilot/cow catcher because farm animals are fenced in and there aren't many wild animals in the UK that are bigger than foxes. Headlamps were carried at night but there's not a lot of use for them in the daytime, just like on your car. No Janney/knuckle couplers because trains weren't heavy enough to need them, though some modern stock has them.
-
I could never figure why brit locomotives never had pilot beams & headlights & also why they never adpoted janny couplers as those link & pin things are very dangerous?????
-
lol i love these film all the poor acting and the way that cow looks just funny some times

This is still how things are done in Absolute Block areas such as Worcester, Great Malvern, Kidderminster, parts of Scotland and many other areas. This system is still in use today!
