Kadee Electro Uncoupler Installation, etc.
Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, December 6, 2006 11:10 AM
As a novice I'd appreciate some advice regarding my O scale 2-rail layout under contruction; namely, the best method to install my Kadee #810 Electro Uncouplers. I understand that there's a way to increase the power of these units with the result that they can be mounted under the track without the need to cut a hole through the track itself. This sounds great if true. Also, I have the Lionel SC-2 Switch & Accessory Controller which I hope to use to control the four Kadee 810's but so far have only a rough idea as to how to go about it.  Any advice would be very welcome!

Not too many folks hereabouts are 2-ralers or use Kadees.  You might get some help over on the MR forum, but most there are HO or N scalers and know little about O. 

 Sign up for a couple or Yahoo email lists, the Otrains and the Oscalekings (there are others, but these two will do for a start).  There you will find oodles of info.

You can try Ready To Roll in Miami for info, www.readytorolltrains.com  or you may try OGR (O gauge Trains)forum as they are dedicated more to O gauge in two rail.
