Replacement couplings from Hong Kong here. Cheaper than buying from UK sources.
They also sell replacement rubber tyres for the drive wheels, I've had excellent service from this seller.
The green coach is called a Works Coach. It's based on the coach that operates with a pair of cranes and flat-beds to make up the Breakdown Train in the Thomas books and TV series, for example look for the story 'Thomas and the Breakdown Train' where James is de-railed and lifted back onto the track by them.
The Tomy version of these cranes is green and came with the diesel Mavis.
The Breakdown Train was largely replaced by Rocky for a long time, but has returned in a retelling of this story in the special 'The Adventure Begins', with both cranes gaining faces and being named Jerome and Judy.
