    Anyone had any trouble getting the couplers to stay together when running a consist?

    I recently purchased a second SD70ACe MTH brand and was attempting to run them in a consist last night, but the couplers will not stay together.

    These couplers are the electric remote controlled couplers that come stock on these MTH SD70's.

    What's puzzling is, I can pull cars with either one of the locos, front or rear, with no problem, but when I couple the engines together, they won't stay together.

    Anyone have advice? Has anyone else had an issue like this?

    Thanks for any response.

    Rufus,
    I have no experience with these locomotives or couplers. But I have had some strange coupler problems cause by too much up/down play in the coupler connections.
