Coupling Wagons

Note: a wagon can have 2, 1 or no coupling­hooks attached. Only wagons with a coupling­hook can be coupled to other wagons and to locomotives.

Coupling­hooks available for coupling will light up with green color. If the coupling­hook is linked, it will turn unlit red color.

When both coupled wagons are equiped with a coupling­hook on the coupled side, the link strength will be doubled. That means less chance of derailment.
