No, they don't break, but when going thru sharp curve, or when swtiching onto another track, the locomotives jerk back and forth, like they are rubbing one another. It looks crappy, and so unrealistic, not to mention it drops the speed down. This happens even when using just one of the locomotives, or several of them. Whats the deal? Is this what I paid $12 for?Chris Bogley

RE: Question about the MLT BN Pack Locomotive Couplers

What route are you running them on? I have the MLT Michigan Iron Ore route and I notice the exact same jerkiness on that route with the routes included loco's... I dont have the BN pack yet. It really plays havoc on exceeding freight durability limits. I never have a problem with frieght durability the way I drive on any other route's activities but in the Michigan Iron Ore route I'm lucky to not exceed freight limits 30+ times on a 5 mile trip.Nick

The route I was using them on, the key word is "was", is the beta version of Whitefsih 2.0. The route itself doesn't matter, but the problem is the sharp switches used on most routes. When the locos go into the sharp switch, they rub againest one another. Chris Bogley
