I have an under the track uncoupler that works without any modification using Kadee 802s. I will have a demo track at the O Scale west this Thursday in Santa Clara. Once the uncoupler is installed and the track ballested you don't see it. It does not uncouple the cars when you park a train over it. It oinly works when you want it to. Price is $9.95 ea + S&H I hope this helps. Paul PVC 9938 257th St. Ct. E. Graham, WA 98338

I'd like to try something, but don't have the part.. If an HO switch track were partially disassembled and mounted vertically between the rails of an S scale track, would the frog be strong enough to uncouple cars? If the frog rail were to be weighed down some, would it fall back down or would you have to flip the switch to raise/lower it? It'd be a fairly large cavity to hollow out for the mechanism to fit, but nearly invisible afterwards, the remaining frog rail could be painted to match your roadbed. I even thought about using an N scale switch frog, but don't know if it'd be strong enough to lift AF compatable couplers. If I had the cash, I'd go magnamatic, but I don't. If anyone has a few small scale switches, let me know if this can work. Other cost-saving uncoupler ideas also welcomed. I'm sure we could all use a few more uncoupling spots on our layouts that don't cost a fortune. ------------------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Links http://docs.yahoo.com/info/terms/
