George, I think I wrote about this a couple of years ago. To use the HO Electromatic uncoupler, I merely reversed the side plates so they lean outward instead of inward. When mounted between the rails they look like guard rails. he other thing I did is file off the top of the main screw that holds the whole gadget together and filed off the other end so the bolt did not stick out further than the widened plates. That way the slot you cut between the rails will accept the unit as a drop-in from the top. I have two installed on my S scale layout and they pull my 802s into the delayed uncoupling position powering them with 12 volt DC. I have a car battery hooked up to a standby battery charger (from Griot's Garage Catalog) and I use that for these and a bunch of 12 volt relays. If that isn't practical for you, RadioShack has 12 volt DC power supplies. Wally Collins

I received a reply on O scale but also one on HO scale. I had a flood (wipeout) in my basement shortly after and only now am I getting back to tracklaying. I've lost the reply of the person who used a modified HO Kadee "electric" uncoupler. If you are still how there could you forward me the details again? Thanks George Courtney Yahoo!
