thomas copularas are lower than reg. cupalers you hook it to reg. car by taking the horn and hook cupler and hooking it to the place where the real cupaler hooks ;)

does that make sense now :)

This is a horn hook (http://web4.hobbylinc.com/icon/hrp/hrp3013.jpg)
This is a knuckle (http://www.billstrainsandtrack.com/catalog/156.jpg)
This is a hook and loop coupler or a "Thomas" coupler (http://uktrainssource.co.uk/items_images/1114868472couplers.jpg)

Or you could use a piece of wire and tie the couplings together.

The "Thomas" coupler shown in the picture is for a Large Scale ("G") size locomotive. The hook & loop couplers used on the HO/OO sized Thomas equipment are somewhat different in look and mounting methods.
