N Scale switching
Posted by johnbalich on Friday, July 17, 2020 2:25 PM

anyone hear running switching operations in N Scale? wondering how finicky coupling and decoupling might be.

We do it all the time on my friend Randy's NORFOLK SOUTHERN layout.

No problems at all. His layout is older. It has all code 80 track and old style Micro-Trains pizza cutter flanged wheels. Everything works flawlessly. We use the Micro-Trains magnetic uncouplers in most locations.

Also, all his couplers are body-mounted.
