A quick mod that adds variants of the Vectron with various couplers. They should appear in the free roam menu under 'BR 193 Vectron'. The front coupler remains the same, but the back coupler has been swapped. There are 8 variants:

BR 193 Vectron (BSI)

  • Uses the coupler model from the Class 142 (Blackpool Branches).
  • Can couple to Class 142, 158, 170, modded version of 166.

BR 193 Vectron (Buckeye)

  • Uses the coupler model from JNA wagon (Southeastern Highspeed).
  • Can couple to anything with Buckeye coupler.

BR 193 Vectron (Dellner)

  • Uses the coupler model from Class 37/7 (Rail Operations Group BR Class 37/7).
  • Can couple to Class 375, 377, 387, 700, 710, ROG 37/7.

BR 193 Vectron (Scharfenberg)

  • Uses the coupler model from BR442 (Kassel - Würzburg).
  • Can couple to Class 395, most German EMU's, ÖBB 4024, modded version of TGV and 801.

BR 193 Vectron (Scharfenberg - ICE 1)

  • Uses the coupler model from BR442 (Kassel - Würzburg).
  • Can couple to modded version of ICE 1.

BR 193 Vectron (Tightlock)

  • Uses the coupler model from JNA wagon (Southeastern Highspeed).
  • Can couple to Class 313, 314, 465, modded version of 323.

BR 193 Vectron (WABCO N-Type)

  • Uses the coupler model from M7 (Long Island Rail Road).
  • Can couple to M3, M3A, M7, M7A.

BR 193 Vectron (Wedglock)

  • Uses the coupler model from 1972 Stock (Bakerloo Line).
  • Can couple to 1938 Stock, 1972 Stock.

Each variant is in a separate .pak file, so if you don't have some of the required DLC's you can leave those ones out.

Notes

  • You may need to enter the cab and release the brakes on any train being dragged, I don't know how to get it to work automatically.
  • The Vectron hasn't been remodelled or retextured, I have just swapped the back coupler.
  • I haven't added any scenarios, timetables or formations, it is only for free roam mode.
  • Currently doesn't work with formation designer.

Bugs

  • Some of the coupler animations don't play properly.

Requirements

The BR 193 Vectron (Scharfenberg - ICE 1) can only currently couple to this, not the stock ICE 1

Don't know what I am doing wrong but the ICE 3 automatically keeps braking me even if no brakes are applied
