Are they all EZ mates (brown coupler with a spring on the glad hand) or are some of them the dummy couplers (black coupler, no spring or brake hose) that come with all the trainset equipment and the bulk freight cars?
The dummy couplers will not auto couple with anything.
The EZ mates take a pretty good hit to auto couple. The springs are a little stiff and the gladhand doesn't always open easily. If you are looking for automatic coupling for switching operations and such, you should look to converting to Micro-Trains couplers. They are the bench mark for a knuckle coupler.
