By cutting a section out of the floor and inserting  the base plate, it can be fitted to other ready to run and kit built carriages.

SOUTHERN PRIDE kits and the HORNBY reissued B.R. MkI stock are of very similar construction and require a little more effort to fit the base plate. In both cases the bogie centres are too far apart and   
Listed here is some of the  stock  that  the Close Coupling System will fit to.  It only takes a little imagination. If it is not listed, it does not mean it will not fit, but simply that I have not had one to fit it to.
