Coping with Couplers.
Couplers used in Z scale are tiny, potentially-troublesome, sometimes confusing, and often infuriating mechanisms. This website may have the answers to your questions.

I've read in several places that lots of people use Z couplers on N Scale rolling stock as they give a more realistic appearance.

Me too  poliss  but they are fiddly enough  assembling  N  scale  couplers        i  have some  Z   scale   microtrains   i   still  need  to try making  up   for   N  scale  as an  experiment.
