I must say that I was surprised by so many modelers that uncouple by hand. I am a very serious modeler and I always uncouple by hand. I worked on a real railroad for several years and it is important for me to uncouple any place I please just like the real thing. Its so unrealistic to uncouple in the same exact place every time. Thats what I would tell someone. I belong to a club that uses magnetic uncouplers and my friend has a large layout with them and sometimes they don't work or they will uncouple something you didn't want to. Also most modelers would be surprised at how long it takes to switch out industries on the real thing. Like someone said above its all about having fun,and don't let anyone take that from you. Its a hobby and some guys forget that.
