I just finished reading the November 2008 issue of Railroad Model Craftsman, which, on page 83, has an article about using two of the small, cylindrical rare-earth magnets as uncouplers. They are buried into the roadbed, near the rails, and need a clearance of about 0.030" from the rail head. The author claims significantly more reliable operation than the Kadee uncoupler. I believe he said a friend of his tested it on his S-scale layout (but I am going from memory on that one).
Hope this helps, - Peter. At 05:59 pm 01/13/2009, you wrote: >5. Or do you have a "Better Idea"?
