I have gotten into European Rail via an interest in WW II German Armored trains and associated engines and cars. Some of the models do not have complete coupler details which I will most likely have to scratch build or swipe from an unused kit. I work in 1/35. I'm looking for details (drawings) of the couplers - and even better a source of couplings in this scale.

If 1:32 ist fine for you, there's 1-scale. Kiss is a manufacturer of such produts, they offer 'Originalkupplungen' for about 20¤/pair.

1:35 is the military modelling scale, 1:32 is the model railway scale. It's a real shame that the plastic kitset makers didn't go with the existing (mr) scale which has been around for 117 years now. (almost established ;-) There's about 10% difference, which is IMHO too great for models side by side, but almost ok for details which are not obviously to a precise scale. The 1:32 scale couplers might work well, but they might be too long and not pull adjoining buffers together.
