wagon cables not connected in a consist

[Kristian]

I recently bought the SLI Seligman and Scenic Sub and am trying to get the rolling stock to work with Openrails, as they are only tested for mstsbin. Good start to read the orts manual first.

I noticed that the cables (for brakes I suppose) on the wagons are not connected in a consist. Is this something not modeled in the wagon (or loco) design or one of the things to be implemented in orts somewhere in the future? I haven't looked at those details before in any other trainsim so far.

The design is based on how the author made its wagon or locomotive. I prefer exactly what your expecting that I make my wagons connect in the best way I can make them.

Let's see what the SLI designers have to say to that. If the cables were closely modeled under the coupler it would at least have looked as if they were connected.
If you pay attention to these details one has to admit it looks a bit silly to see those cables hanging. Don't bother to model them then, saves some polygons to render too.
