Good idea, it was only a matter of time before this was invented!
:-)
-
could you possibly post a video of you making one of these units and fully explaining it? because i think it would be more than helpful to any dcc railway modeller.

I can't say better than any of the others. That is the most fab-tastic thing I've ever seen for a model railway. You clever bu**er.

that's awesome. how about using small motors and placing them in the truck as traction motors? would free up space inside of the shell
-
That is soo awsome i need that in every single car!! haha I can see me switchin in the yard with out worring about stupid magnetic couplers and the hit and miss of those 5*****!

That is completely amazing! You need to market those devices, or at least the plans...
Ready to install units would revolutionize the HO scale market!

hi I'm afraid its a scratch built device using a combiation of memory wire and a kadee coupler. The memory wire is activated by an output from the dcc decoder....John

Great vid mate love to find out more

Thats nuts man!

That's how it's done!

That is sweet... who makes it?
very nice! BUT - does this rather fine coupling have the mechanical strength to keep a long rake of vehicles together? Seems a bit 'fragile', although as said, it's very nice and acurate being an actual 'buckeye'

@colliecandle
It certainly works with a rake of 6 Bulleids which is as long as my platforms will accomodate but i cannot see why it shouldn't work with more

I have only made three, they cost only a few pounds in componants but quite a lot of time and patience!
