no couplers

Ok, I must have gone brain dead. Been messing with this for hours. Tried to load Mike's MP coach and have no couplers. All the other Brit Kit coaches are OK. Any ideas? **!!bang!!**

Seriously odd... have you downloaded and installed the default pack? Do the couplers appear when you switch to drive mode?

Yes and the couplers are there on them. I discovered it by the scenario crashing when I tried to back your spiffy locos up to the cars.

Just packaging some other stuff, will try it out.

A While later: I'm having no problem, if other cars couple properly, I'd suggest you uninstall the coach and reinstall the.rwp.

You'll find a few topics about missing couplers here. I was plagued with them missing in both edit and play mode. I would like to say that I know what I was doing when they started working again in play mode, but the only suggest that you download the replacement couplers from Britkits and it did the trick.

Tried all that and no joy. Maybe I'll re download and try again.

Don't know having an ATI card could be related to the problem... but if so, from the ATI's control panel, you've already tried turning-off the "Adaptive Anti-Aliasing (AAA)" option? As in some cases with RailWorks having AAA enabled it can sometimes cause odd behavior such as missing / invisible graphics on some models and/or routes.

Make sure that you backup the original coupler folder and replace (not overwrite, in fact remove the original folder completely after backing it up) it with the Britkit's folder. Then run the bat file, and finally (and I am saying this just to be sure) clear out the blueprints.

It took me a few tries to get there, and as I said I still don't have couplers in edit mode, but play mode is working fine.
