Coupling is the method of connecting rail vehicles together and forming a train. There are a few coupling system types in existence. The one in Derail Valley is universally known as “chains and buffers”. With it, the vehicles are kept together by a tightly screwed chain, but held at a distance by shock absorbers known as buffers. There are also air line hoses between the vehicles. When connected and with their valves open, they form a shared compressed air vessel throughout the train, as part of the train brake system.
Some vehicles also come equipped with multiple-unit cables, which can optionally be connected, too.
When coupling at night, it is recommended to be equipped with a light source.
Depending on the session difficulty settings, it is possible to couple and uncouple vehicles remotely, using the locomotive remote controller, driving UI, or the external view UI.
Exact procedure for coupling and uncoupling is shown in a quick tutorial, that can be activated in the pause menu.
