it's not as big as you'd think, and that is the best type of knuckle coupler to use, but it's quite pricey

Having trouble with the image and the bbcode tags Razz. You will get it eventually.

It looks pretty big for a train set and if it is standard why is it pricey?

yes, they are of the trainset that Tigertankfan and i have.
glad you like the pics, sorry if they are a little blurry, and sorry for the shadow in the coke truck pic,   i wasn't aware it would show up like that when i took the photo with my tablet in the bad lighting, but there is a plan in motion to address the poor lighting. and yes, the couplers aren't that big, because they can't be big for that application, because they wouldn't work if they were any bigger. but the coupler in the first pic is the best type to use because they are the best quality ones, the brown one in the 2nd pic is a cheaper model, but works as a "quick fix" if you can't afford the best quality ones.

Ah don't worry about it, they are great photos non the less. The container yard looks busy and I love the photo of the coke truck.

yes, a container yard should always be busy, even if it's not always full of containers, the two flat cars on the last spur of container yard 2 are for TOFC or "Trailer on Flatcar" service or for hauling piggyback trailers, a very old form of inter modal freight service, replaced by the shipping container. but the one in front can be modifed slightly to haul containers.

all of the well cars and the flatcars are on separate spurs, so they will not jam up anything

not quite, a spur line is a single ended siding usually used for a track side industry when space does not allow access via the other end
