It's been a while since I used the train pan, but yes, I baked with the two pans closed together. I let the cake cool for a while, but I know it wasn't an hour. Maybe 10 min. The cake came out great. I greased the pans using shortening and flour. Be sure to get in all the little detail areas! Good Luck!
Tie the two pans closed with a cotton string. Make sure it is cotton and not nylon or plastic, those would melt. One side of the pan has a whole in it, this would be the top pan.
About 10 mins out of the oven I'd take off the top of the pan and let it cool for a little bit. Put that side of the pan back on, flip it over and take off the other side and let that cool for a little bit. Then you can remove it from the pan.
