But now with the the trains being associated with working other people's farms, I wanted to make sure I had 10 cars on each train BUT, the issue is, the more cars there are, it's even MORE difficult it is to couple them together and to the locomotive! 
I know that the entire train is to be highlighted in yellow when the train is properly connected. But it seems no matter how I organize the cars or use the various methods of moving (cars themselves or the free style hand) I cannot get all of the 10 cars to couple to the locomotive!! All my trains are on tracks...I don't know if that makes a difference or not.
Is there some trick, I'm not aware of? I read the instructions for trains but there is nothing there other than what I already know. Does anyone have any suggestions?
It would be GREAT if the powers that be would make it easier to couple 10 or more cars on the tracks to the locomotive. |
The tracks are not necessary but are more for visual (whoever saw a train running on the ground
).
First thing is do not use the green hand to set them as it will set them incorrectly.
If they are in a straight line all you have to do is have them all facing the same direction and push one car up to the next one. I always move it up until it turns red (not placable) and then back of slowly until it turns green. Your train on your farm 5 has the first 2 cars overlapping each other, probably because of using the green hand. I would remove all the coin cars from that train, set all the long cars to the side and place each on the train one at a time without the green hand. Check by hovering over then engine when you place each car that they are all connected.
If you are trying to connect them around a curve then you need to use one of the coin cars to make the turn. Good instructions on how to do that are in the Game Guide.
