Adds a variant of the BR 101 (standard and expert version) with switchable couplers.
- The standard version should appear in the free roam menu under 'BR101 DB', as DB BR101 (Multi-Couple).
- The expert version should appear in the free roam menu under 'DB BR 101 Expert (IC)', as DB Baureihe 101 IC (Multi-Couple).
Coupler Options:
- Scharfenberg - can couple to Class 395, most German EMU's, ÖBB 4024, modded version of ICE 1, TGV, BR 642, and Class 801
- Dellner - can couple to Class 375, 377, 387, 700, 710, ROG 37/7, modded version of Class 380 and Class 385.
- Buckeye - can couple to most things with Buckeye coupler, modded versions of some Tightlock trains.
- BSI - can couple to Class 142, 158, 170, modded version of 150 and 166.
- WABCO N-Type - can couple to M3, M3A, M7, M7A, M9.
- Wedgelock - can couple to 1938 Stock, 1972 Stock.
It uses the coupler models from BR 401 (Kassel - Würzburg), Class 142 (Blackpool Branches), M7 (Long Island Rail Road), 1972 Stock (Bakerloo Line).
If you do not have one or more of these DLC the mod should still work, but the coupler model will be missing.
It also adds a prompt to the engine room doors on the standard BR 101 so you can teleport to the other cab without getting out.
Changelog

Notes
- You may need to enter the cab and release the brakes on any train being dragged, I don't know how to get it to work automatically.
- The BR 101 hasn't been remodelled or retextured, I have just added various coupler options.
- I haven't added any scenarios, timetables or formations, it is only for free roam mode.
- Currently doesn't work with formation designer.

with the BR101 expert, your coupler mod sadly removes or "overwrites" the clickspot for the windshield heating in the cab. Maybe you can check that?
thanks so much for your moda though, you really made many trains more enjoyable :)
Thats a Bug with the ETCS and white version of the Br101 itself, the windshield heater only works on the default expert 101, not the two other versions... on those its set to deice and not able to move..
