My daughter and I are building our first N scale mini empire together. We are basing the design on the one described in the "N scale model railroad that grows" book from Kalmbach. Being the eager beaver that I am, I decided that I wanted to go to Phase three right away and just wait on building the mountain. We have completed the initial track layout and I have set out the blocks and soldered the sections together. I am preparing to paint the track and then we will begin laying down the roadbed. In the book, they use the Kadee magnetic uncouplers, but I have also been reading the book "N scale model railroading" from Kalmbach and in their layout they use under track uncouplers. My question, for now, at least, can any of you recommend a good under track uncoupler? I have done some research on the topic and haven't seen much in the N scale department. I believe that Kent and Ric used rare earth magnets that they purchased from a company unrelated to model railroading and I have been unable to turn up the company that they mention in the book, at least online. I must say that I like the clean looks of the uncoupler when it is mounted in the track bed instead of between the rails. Well, I think that that is a long enough post for a first timer. I look forward to hearing back. Thanks, Thom and Lisa Smith
