    Any ideas why? They seem to have the same coupler but they won't clip together?

    The physical parts of the BSI auto-coupler may be the same, but the electrical systems and controls are not going to be the same potentially.

    It's to do with the PA, cab to can and possibly PassCOM communication apparatus I think.

    They are not compatible. In real life they can be pulled but only with the brakes isolated and passengers moved to the front unit. 5mph max.
