QUOTE: Originally posted by MisterBeasley I'm thinking of putting some of the Kadee electromagnetic uncoupler ramps on my main line tracks. Has anyone ever installed one of these? Can they be installed on existing tracks, or do you have to take up the track and work from below. From the picture, it looks like they have both a between-the-rails plate and a below-ground magnet. Can you just cut out a few ties, punch a hole through the roadbed and foam, and drop the thing in?
