I operate MTH scale wheel locomotives so they don't come with electric coil couplers. The coupler sounds will play when the appropriate key is pushed. I suppose hi-rail locomotives operating on DCC will have functional protocouplers.
Ah, that makes sense as I had just checked a manual and it said opening couplers. I've never looked at the manual of a scale wheel locomotive, so I didn't realize they didn't come with proto-couplers. That's good to know information.
