It will not hold the consist coupling hook when pulling away forwards. The little vertical pin in the coupling just flops around. If I take the loco and hold it vertical and lightly tap the coupling on a pad, the pin will then lock properly. But it fails again right after use. The front coupling works flawlessly. This loco was about a year late in delivery, perhaps M had problems with this new coupling? Any thoughts?

I just cut the wires and install normal close (or relex for older wagons) couplers.. One day, there might be a more useful coupler on the market. In the meantime, I plan to install some m-track uncouplers, when I get around to setting up the shunting area properly..
