A mod that makes most trains with Tightlock couplers able to couple with Buckeye couplers as well.

There are two versions of the mod:

Replacement Version
Modifies the Class 313, 314, 323 (Training Center and Birmingham Cross-City version) and 465 to allow them to couple with Buckeye coupler. Keep in mind this version won't be compatible with any game updates or mods that modify the original RVD or RVM files of these trains, since one will overwrite the other.

Each one is in a separate .pak file, so if you don't have some of the trains you can leave those ones out.

Variants Version
Doesn't modify the original Class 323, instead adds two variants, for use in free roam mode or scenario creator. It should appear in the free roam spawn menu under Class 323 WMR, as:

• WMR Class 323 3 Car (Tightlock) - fixes the original Tightlock coupler so it can couple to other trains with Tightlock couplers, such as the Class 313, 314, 465.
• WMR Class 323 3 Car (Buckeye) - can couple to other trains with Buckeye couplers.

Currently working on variant version of Class 313, 314 and 465.

Changelog

• 2024/04/27 - Expanded replacement version to include Class 313, 314 and 465.
• 2024/04/01 - Disabled variants version from appearing in formation designer, since it doesn't work properly.
• 2024/02/20 - Added replacement version of Class 323.
• 2024/01/18 - Added variants version of Class 323.

Notes

• You don't need both versions, pick which one you prefer.
• I am not sure how to get it to control another train when coupled (for example Class 323 coupled to 465), so to get them to move you might need to turn on the other train and release the brakes.

Bugs

• Formation designer doesn't detect that the replacement version should be able to couple to other trains.
