      Match Wagon Pros:

      *Easier to install (theoretically)
      *Can install most types of coupler
      *Can result in smoother running

      Cons:

      *May not be the most realistic method, depending on country preference.

      Emergency Coupler Pros:

      *Direct loco to MU connection
      *Offers more realism for emergency situation recreations
      *Less space used

      Cons:

      *Can be fiddly to fit and stay fitted
      *Smaller scales will struggle to recreate this
      *More chance of uncoupling without proper modifying.

      I’ve had success with both methods on Kato stock and utilise this for added interest. Although I have since added double coupler Tomix locos to the fleet, which fulfil the Tomix DMU movements fine.
