Dose anyone else get this problem when running trains to Nowra they break up?
And when I take the loco back to couple up, each carriage at a time breaks off from the train then one all have been recouple on one at a time then I can continue on.
This never happens when comming from Nowra only heading to Nowra.

This happens with any freight, ARG or Heritage trains I run on the line. And it's very, very anoying Mad

If the break always occurs at the same place and its on a point then the problem is in the route itself.
MSTS has a bug in that it doesnt like sections of track of more than about 5 kms that dont have any points in them, its worse if the track contains lots of curves.
There are workarounds when making the route to overcome this problem.

If it is the point node issue you should see the rolling stock concertina in external view while traversing the point. Test it and report back.

You may be able to prevent uncoupling by modifying the eng/wag files of your rolling stock.
