Thanks for the info. I did make the two connect by closing both and sliding them together as you said, but that is a royal pain in the butt. I will look on eBay and try to find matching couplers that I can adapt to the cars.

Thanks for the info. I was having trouble with the sound, but took the drive train cover off the bottom and found a wire off of a switch at one of the wheels. Fixed it and now it works again.  Train seems pretty simple over all, however I have an Aristo-craft caboose that won't couple with the Bachmann knuckles. Guess I may have to get new knuckle couplers?

I purchased a used Bachmann Liberty Bell Limted for my grandson as a display in his bedroom. He wants to run it, so I hooked it up and have found that I can't get some of the functions to work.
Does anyone have a copy of the instruction manual that they could email to me?
