Coupler Conversion Anyone?

Does anyone know the KUId of a Car that converts Knuckle couplers to the British Chain and Hook?

I noticed Slugsmasher has one that converts link and pin to an auto coupler, but i need it in Standard Guage, and this one isn't unfortunately.
 
Rolling stock is made for either UK or other, it is part of the items mesh as far as I know and can not be changed. I may be proved wrong but as far as I know, what you see is what you get. All of the UK stock I have is a UK coupler system of sorts only, maybe a pro can prove me wrong. ;)
 
Some modern UK stock has either both couplers or different couplers at each end. The large EWS coal hoppers (HTA) have a version with buckeye at one end and screwlink at the other. Also there are dual coupler versions of the "megabox" bogey open (MBA) and the cut down version of these (MCA or MDA can't remember which). These are all available on the DLS under my KUID. Don't know of any smaller or older vehicles with this capability.

The couplers ( Blue Star etc.) are normally done with a kuid and an attachment point. So to have a wagon with one type at one end and another at the other you would just set it up with one at one end and one at the other. Except the knuckle couplers aren't usually animated.

Have a look at GWR MITES B b how far is this off what you are after?
