How To Use

Preventing invisible couplers
The mod uses the coupler models from these trains:

• ICE 1 from Kassel - Würzburg (Scharfenberg and Dellner coupler model).
• Class 142 from Blackpool Branches (BSI coupler model).
• M7 from Long Island Rail Road (WABCO coupler model).
• 1972 Stock from Bakerloo Line (Wedgelock coupler model).
• TGK2 mod (SA3 coupler model).

If you do not have the above the mod should still work, but there will be no coupler model.

Getting coupler switch prompt to show up
Move mouse above the coupler to find option to toggle coupler switch prompt.

Towing other trains
You may need to release the brakes manually on a train you want to tow.
If the BR 103's brakes won't release, try closing the HLL and HBL valves between the BR 103 and the other train.
Some trains like the ICE 1 require a separate mod to be able to couple.

Notes

• The BR 103 hasn't been remodelled or retextured, I have just added various coupler options.
• I haven't added any scenarios, timetables or formations, it is only for free roam mode.

Bugs

• WABCO coupler animation doesn't work.
• The first time you spawn a custom formation using it, the BR 103 may be invisible and/or not coupled properly. To prevent this, spawn a 'DB BR 103 (Multi-Couple)' first to load it into memory (then you can delete it).
