I have had the same problem in HO using Kadee and other brand couplers. even if all the couplers are in good working order and centred etc. if i just nudge a car very gently then it starts to roll instead of coupling. The problem is then you speed up the loco a bit to increase the force on the couplers to make them couple but it just pushes the wagon faster. Before you know it you loco is chasing the car off the end of the siding! I have found no solution to this. We need the HO (or N) equivalent of the brakeman to go between the cars an give the sticky knuckles a wallop with a stick. neil
