Welcome...

There are several different European couplers so you're going to have to deal with that. Stateside, we went to two different types, neither of which are compatible but at least there are only two.

Different brands can run together but that is a unit by unit issue, find out how well they run at speed separate from each other on the same track...if they match speed fairly close, they'll work, if not, one is always going to be working against the other eventually hurting one or both engines.

Don't worry about your English, far too many Yanks don't have a grasp of it either.
