I mounted two Micro Trains uncoupling magnets on my layout using the Micro Trains jig to hold the magnets in the correct allignment with the rails (I'm using Atlas code 80 flex) and now when my loco's go over them at slow speeds the magnets cause the loco's motor to stall. It happens on all the locos (Kato, Atlas, MiniTrix, and ModelPower) <i>except </i>for a LifeLike E7 diesel. Anybody have this experience? I figure that the magnet is pulling on the motor, but I also figure that if I set the magnet deeper into the (cork) roadbed I'll be preventing it from working properly on the couplers... <br />Hmmm...
