How to Couple Train Cars in Train Sim World 3

Train Sim World 3 - Orange Train
  1. To couple train cars, walk to the train cars on foot or use the external camera.
  2. Ensure the couples on the train cars are in the right position for automatic coupling. The couplers need to be open on both train cars for this to work.
  3. Operate the Cut Bar on both train cars to be open.
  4. Once the junction is aligned correctly, navigate the train slowly towards the train car that needs to be coupled.
  5. Don’t speed to avoid derailing while coupling. To slow the train’s approach, apply some brakes. Since most train cars are equipped with automatic knuckle couplers, they will couple automatically once they connect.

    - Using the external camera is the simplest way of uncoupling or coupling train cars. - Before coupling train cars, ensure the Cut Bar is open to prevent them from bouncing off.

How to Fix Problem with Uncoupling Train Cars

Train Sim World 3 - Purple Train

Many players have stated they have had problems uncoupling train cars inside or outside a train station. Players would uncouple train cars, and when they would start rolling, the train cars would couple again. Fortunately, this problem can be solved by following this simple workaround:

  1. Set brakes to 30-50% and uncouple the train cars.
  2. Set throttle to 1-2.
  3. The train will move painfully slow but keep an eye out for separation in the couplers.
  4. Once the couplers have separated, release the brakes.

Train Sim World 3 is available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S/X.
