Couplers for Precision Scale HOn3 BRASS
Those look like the older Kadee 714 coupler. Hard to say what the screw is holding it, maybe a 1.7 mm? Are the 705s supplied with self-tapping or machine screws and are the car bodies at the correct h

The radius would be something like 36". Haven't considered styrene. It's going behind a yard and I'm looking at commercial photo backdrops to cover it as I'm all thumbs when it comes to artwork. Bill
