I should have mentioned I suffer the problem only when propelling the wagons.
By the looks of things, the bit of wire across the buffer heads is going to be the SIMPLEST method, and I really don't want 'normal' tension lock couplings fitted - after all, that's why I bought the 3-link ones in the first place!
Thanks for the replies, all have been very useful.

Increase the diameter of the buffer heads. A millimetre on each buffer (two millimetres overall) makes a tremendous difference and looks better than tension locks.

It would be unusual to have the problem when pulling them.

Just a thought ..is it only happening on crossovers? If so a short straight length (one inch) between the turnouts would be enough.
