But I'm having trouble with the coupling area behind the buffer beam.

The closest reference that I've been getting was this.

I was wondering if you could try to solve my conundrum.

You have already found good images to help with texture and weathering detail.
Cheers Bazza.

I was looking for someone who may happen to know more about these wagons (such as working with them as these wagons tend to be used between the 1960s and 1990s) but I wasn't really sure on where to put it.
Google tends to retrieve fewer results than the sources that I've found in terms of detail pictures.

I had a very long search for a large plan of a 2.8.2 3ft gauge K36 steam loco. It took 10+ years!!
Cheers and good searching

When I modelled this car I couldn't find a top view for love nor money. So I looked at top down views of similar wagons and came to a suitable compromise. It is almost certainly very inaccurate but the alternative was vapourware.

A square bar connects to an enclosed spring box under the cross member.
The square bar forms the bar coupling at the other end.
