based on first-hand knowledge and experience. My experience has shown
that while the HO gladhands (trip pins) will function to the extent
that the couplers uncouple, they do not provide lateral movement
sufficient for reliable operation of Kadee's "delayed action" feature.

No problem - if we all agreed, this board would be an awfully dull
place. Personally, I never found the "delayed action" feature to ever
be that reliable, anyway. However, it will work with craft magnets, as
I demonstrated in an article in S Gaugian years ago, but the couplers
must be clean of all flash, and lubed with graphite as they should be
in any situation.
Also, the coupler pins can be staightened to a degree in S scale use
so they are closer to the magnets,making them even more reliable.
I have been doing some experiments, but nothing substantial to report
at this time.
