  • Mike, I have the regular permanent magnets under my track in several places and plan to remove them, because they just don't work. Cars are either uncoupling when I don't want them to, but more often they will not uncouple when I want them to. I am using Atlas flextrack for N scale, code 80. My question is this, are these electric magnets more dependable than the permanent magnets? Stronger maybe? Thanks for the video and the help, Russell

  • @alphagt62 They are somewhat more powerful and more reliable but in any switching the couplers have to be Micro-Trains and operate smoothly. Other brands do not seem to be as reliable.

    Thanks , Mike

  • Mike, Is there any way to run this under the roadbed for a more realistic look?

  • @d3lp0rto That would be an experiment for you possibly.

    I prefer to see them and do most uncoupling by hand and a Rix Pix

    Thanks , Mike

  • Very helpful video.

    I am just getting back into the hobby, and I am surprised to see how may folks are uncoupling their cars by hand.With all the money they spend on DCC, I am surprised to see that.

  • @MMODoubter I personally ejoy it buy hand and N scale couplers do not quite seem as reliable as HO. Maybe that is why?

    Mike

  • @mrfifer Oh, okay. Very cool!

  • @ZacksPlace2010 Yes , That is what makes the coupler uncouple is to take the slack of the couple , hence back up.
