I have an MTH Ex-Reading T-1 2101 Chessie with six (6) cars, and the RPO car seems to uncouple at speeds of twenty (20) or so SMPH.

MTH couplers uncouple when they shouldn't ... keeping them …
Guess I'm living in "coupler hell" these days. Got the GGD uncoupling problem figured out, and now the MTH baggage car won't stay coupled.
