No problem with coaches or vans. That's why AEG engines have such long couplings; if they were any shorter, the upper end of an engine would hit the coach/box car behind it on a steep TM slopes. If they'll make some day AEG coaches as big as AEG engines (and I hope they will: we need appropriate coaches with Kana, for example), I think they too will need these extra long couplings to prevent derailing.
