I made another (and hopefully last) test and installed long couplers (#156) at both ends. It did not cure the problem but it is good enough to prevent derails. The handrails do still touch und make nasty noise in a lot of curves when the 2.nd engine is pushing but the couplers are even fully pressed to one side long enough to keep the full power from the handrails.
It looks really strange. The tip of the uncoupling pins of the long couplers are outside the rails when the rear engine ist pushing.
The platforms are so long that the standard couplers are mostly hidden. Uncoupling is really nasty. I did install #156 (long) at the front too to make uncoupling easier. That is also a goody if the engines are running solo.
