You might to see if they are the problem. If they are, you can edit the coupler values (make them less likely to break). They discuss how to do this on http://www.webdottrainsim.com/index5.htm in detail.

This is a know bug.

You can edit your rolling stock to help get through these areas.

[?] (me, too, please)

I came here looking for the answer to this question. I went to the webdottainsim site and got a fix that involeved going to the wordpad, and then changing the ENG file. I did searches in 'my computer', the .c drive and could not find the word pad, nor the ENG file.

I am NOT versitle with a computer, but how can I fix those blasted couplers?

Gary
