Why would Jock, an engine never seen in the series, be at A Day Out With Thomas?

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!

@TTTEFanNo22

true Tho if you don't keep your fingers & hands you could lose them lol

@microbusss

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.

@SodorProductions thanks for the info!

@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.

I don't read the books!
