Noel Posted September 22, 2023 Author Share Posted September 22, 2023 For completeness in this thread, 4 min video of kadee' shunting in action with uncoupling and delayed uncoupling demonstrated. The layout only needed one strategically placed under track magnet. With short 2 axle wagons it helps to ensure the wagons are close to NMRA weights for reliable coupling and uncoupling (ie without bounce or axle magnet hopping). There was a post over on the main FaceBook model railway group asking about Kadee's this thread might be a useful resource to those converting from tension locks to kadee's or those who wish to shunt stock without the hand of God from the model sky uncoupling wagons and coaches. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike 84C Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 Thanks for that video Noel, very interesting with only one magnet. As so many modellers are going over to Kaydee and other magnetic uncoupling systems its a pity manufacturers wont fit non magnetic wheels and axles for our market. The Americans have had them for years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
