Hi Finno,

First of all, I want to reiterate that the orders of the connectors are in reverse order on these Titipo trains.

Locomotive: male (vertical)
2nd car: female (horizontal) - male (vertical)
3rd car: female (horizontal) - male (vertial)

Exact the opposite of Plarail.

You can forcefully connect them to Plarail connectors, but they are not great fit.  The Plastic is more rigid and connectors are much thicker than Plarail's.

Female Titipo to male Plarail is very loose, and can easily come off.

It's hard to connect Female Plarail to Male Titipo, and you have to jam them in.

And the cars will be in reverse direction as I have already mentioned.

Now the attachments for these connectors...

The attachments for both male and female Titipo connectors are like the attachments for male Plarail connectors.  Both male and female connectors have horizontal bars fixing the connectors inside the cars.  So, that's different from female Plarail connector that has the horizontal ring inside the car.

You could replace both male and female Titipo connectors with male Plarail connectors if that's your cup of tea.

But, also note that Car #2 and #3 are identical.  Both of them have male and female connectors.  And they can be towed forward or backward.  So, you could just have them towed backward

So, at the end of the day, depending on what you want, you can create your own solution more or less.  It's just annoying that they are in reverse order and the connectors have different design with more rigid plastic.
