    I'm wondering if they're is gonna be coupling on timetable mode? because I wanna couple trains on passenger and run it, like the 101, 323, 166, the HST, 377, 387, the talent 1 and 2, 700 and the others. Hopefully, the train sets be already coupled up. i hope this could be worked on as a update for the game. thank

    I have attempted to do some coupling test in free roam and you can also do free roam in timetable mode on TSW 4 only I ve coupled US freight cars to the UK model class 66 locomotives ..The F125 diesel in antelope valley route can be used on passenger and freight the a selector knob for passenger or freight ..the US F7 wont work with passenger cars since the brake pressure needs to be 110 psi and F7 cant do it ..there are different types of couplers there a thread on here called free roam your ideas others have posted on the what theyve tried and if works or not

    Some services on some routes already have this as part of their timetable.

    I think there is coupling/uncoupling on BML in service mode IIRC.

    There is with the Littlehampton to Eastbourne/Ore services (don't know if there are others).

    SEHS also has this (usually the depot runs).

    In free mode its understandable but i wish it can be done, just on timetable by itself without the option of adding another loco on your ow

    I understand that UK and US wont couple together because of how they're made
