Couple

[pn6]

Is there a driver command that will let you "couple car A to car B "?

Thanks

look for the Couplez to consist, or something like that on the DLS.

There are several Couple driver commands.

The built-in Couple command lets you choose a specific car anywhere on the route. When the command is exicuted, the train, under AI, will drive to where ever the car may be and couple to it.

I prefer Couple at TrackMark - it lets you couple to whatever car may be at a given trackmark. You do not need to know what the specific car is.

THere is also couple at signal - similar to Couple at TrackMark.

THere may be others.

Thanks for the replies. I've used these and others but I'm trying to back a train into the tail end of another to form a larger consist. The engines back up ok but won't go past a turnout. It will stop and try to couple the engines to the last car in the other train instead of continuing backing to couple the two cars together.
If I manually back it through the switch the continue schedule it couples up the way I want it.

Any suggestions???
