60th Anniversary Best Selection Set - New Coupling?

I guess we will know more when getting closer to July (I hope) I also hope that it will be offered in a 3 car set which I haven't seen or heard of yet, only that big set. If correct then 2 three car trains would be Tail to Tail coupled as from the pictures I have seen there isn't a coupler on the nose of the motored lead engine.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it just dawned on me...........doh.....................the reason it spins is so a 'Hook' from another tail car can be connected to the turned 'Hook' (hook to hook) of the other tail car (making that a coupler)...................doh! If correct then the 'Hook' on the Tail car is always visible.............would have to get rid of that whenever I get one. Wonder if that would be a new design of a hook or th body shell itself has a feature to make a regular hook spin....hmmm. If its the hook itself that spins that could be useful in other rakes of trains.


I can't remember if this set actually had a working display at the Tokyo Plarail Expo to get a better look.
