    Loco just bangs into the car I'm trying to couple to.

    Anyone have some thoughts on this.

    Depends on the loco and the wagon or car you're trying to couple. many locos and wagons won't auto couple and you have to go into the coupler screen and click on the coupling there to hook up.

    There are some scenarios that have coupling issues and can not be completed.
