If you mean that you want to build your own electro-magnets for uncoupling Kadees, then here's a website you'll want to take a look at:

This is taken from this website: http://www.xclent.freeuk.com/p87/fedst1.htm, all of which is worth a look.

Are talking about electromagnets under the track or remotely controlled couplers in the cars or engines?

Do a search of the magazine index on this website for electromagnets if that's what you are interested in.
