    So i tried to couple 4 class 150s together (the 150s from west cornwall local). They just refused to moves. the brakes "BC" are locked on to 3.9 after everything was coupled. all the cabs are disabled and brakes are into release. i tried manually couple 2 pairs of 150s instead but even that got the same result. Is there a step i am missing to coupling the 150s up? Please help.

    I've just tried it and had no issues.

    Went to WCL Freeroam.

    Spawned 2 x 2car consists and coupled up. Set my path and could drive without issues. (Btw, don't know if that matters in the game but you should not release the brakes in the inactive cabs.)

    There's really nothing special, press the couple button. Secure cab and head forward, activate AWS and go.

    Maybe you have done something that you've not mentioned here, something else as unusual as leaving the brakes in release in inactive cabs maybe?

    I'm not really sure what went wrong on your end.

    Did you leave any doors open? The train won't move unless all side doors are closed

    Well i didnt use the 150s in WCL free roam. I didnt straight up spawn a class 150 x2 with the spawn function as I had went to spawn in a 150 with a livery from the creators clubs so i had to spawn down a 150 separately, one by one then couple them up each other then resulting me not being able to move.

    That's free roam. Some stuff works, some not. In any case don't release brakes in inactive cabs. They might prevent braking at all, depending on how the brake valves are simulated generally.

    If some stuff don't work, think of other ways to accomplish what you want. There's many.

    I already tried do this in free roam and it doesnt work. I tried what you said. I first spawned a unit then another, i couple one to the other unit. What i did was turn the reverse to on. Then click couple button. Then turn the reverser to off and turn the brakes on. Then locking the master key before going to the other unit to try and drive the train. And nope, doesnt work. The brakes did release and i am still not moving. BP said it was 6.7, BC 0.0 (after i fully release the brakes) and MR 6.6. Tho when i tried going to the front unit. It did show me the "change service" UI. Maybe it hints that it wasnt coupled properly or something?

    Can somebody else or even a dev help me try solve this? Is this a bug with the 150 that it just refuses to move after you manually couple a pair of 150??

    Step by step. Spawned 2 units at Penzance, coupled up, secured inbetween cabs, moved forward, set a path* and off we go.

    * might be mandatory for the game to recognize the two units as one now. If something don't work - set a path and the consist may be reinitialized by the game - so it's four cars controlled by one cab instead of two consists controlled by two cabs.

    I tried, i did the exact same thing, setting a path didnt do anything, and i dont think the brakes are even the issue i just cant move the throttle wont respond. I spawned the 2 150s on a downhill and it slowly gained traction due to going down hill.

    Have you turned on the TPWS breaker?
