Good point about the airbrakes, Greg. The article which inspired the building of those cars (there are four or five of them around, owned by various modellers) mentioned only that the cars were to be moved by one coupler only - no reason given and no mention of the lack of brakes, either. Mine have handbrakes and air hoses, too, (as did the prototype shown in the article, although I can't recall where I saw it 
), and, seeing the airhoses, I never thought about it not having airbrakes. Perhaps I need to add hooks and safety chains (or simply change its position in the train).
