[quote user="justincase65"] [quote user="Varnet"]I'm looking forward to having digital couplers on everything some day. It will be fun to switch/shunt almost completely hands free![/quote] This is what I'm waiting for.  I've thought about it a lot in fact.  With decoders in each car and a solinoid switch that works each coupler it could be done.  Unfornutaely, I don't think DCC can handle that many decoders at a time on a layout particularly the larger layouts with hundreds of cars to program. [/quote]My DCS 200 can handle 100-120 seperate decoders at once.Average train length 15 cars, not a problem.I think uncouplers already are coming onto the market, they use modified switch machines and are quite expensive. Frankly Im sticking to Kadee which I hope is still around 50 years from now.
