    Hi all , I've tried to couple the 158 and the 142 together however when doing so the train barely moves on full power , almost like the brakes are applied on the other unit , I've tried releasing the brakes from all 4 cabs (both while the master key is on and reverser in neutral and without the master key ) however no change i can open the throttle full and it will start to move however the second I take the throttle of it creeps to a stand again almost like brakes are applied , anyone know if I might be over looking something I have to do when coupling these classes together (they are compatible irl ) or could it be that its just not compatible in game.

    for anyone wanting to try here is what I do

    1 spawn the 158 and the 142 as close together as possible
    2 jump in the 142 or 158 , master key on , reverser to forward , apply 1 notch of power
    3 couple up to the other unit (other unit will bounce when it sees a couple even though I have auto couple off
    4 press and hold the couple button for a couple of seconds , 158 vestibule door will open
    5 close down active cab and change ends (optional turning off tail light in both coupled cabs )
    6 activate that cab release brake and apply full power train starts to move but take full power off and it grinds to a halt again

    Things I have tried extra is after closing the active cab down I have then gone into every cab activated it released the brakes and closed it back down , no change , If anyone has any ideas I'm more that happy to try them I'm hoping that its not that the classes are not compatible in the game but the more I try things the more I think that's the case.

    This would be because the 142 and 158 aren't currently set to be compatible within TSW as was mentioned in the DTG and JT livestreams for Blackpool branches.
    SHG who made the class 158 would need to do some work on their end to make the unit compatible.
    Rivet games would also need to do the same for the class 150.

    Ahh ok cool thank you , I don't watch the livestreams so that's why I didn't know , I know the 150 isn't compatible at all as it doesn't even couple with the 158 or the 142 , but thought I may have just been missing something seeing as the 142 and 158 do successfully couple and I can move them but only at full power , Thanks for letting me know
