QUOTE: Originally posted by Gambino It really surpises me that there aren't many companies manufacturing DCC controlled decouplers. It would be such a handy feature to have. I suppose engineering the mechanism is really challenging.
QUOTE: Originally posted by Gambino Enough of this facetious bull. I don't give a darn about the prototype. I want to decouple ANYWHERE I want with the push of a button. What's the matter with you people?
It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.
QUOTE: Originally posted by Tweet469 You may want to check into Loksound..... The decoder also has function outputs that might could power a small coil to work the coupler.....
QUOTE: Originally posted by Gambino http://dccuncoupling.com I just found this thru NMRA. Looks interesting. Uses Digitrax Transponder inside an Athearn Boxcar to engage a standard Kadee. Price 69.99 (includes the Athearn car). The reason this intrigues me so much is that my layout is shelf mounted over my head and I want to be able to uncouple wherever I want without having to jump up the ladder or drive to a specific spot on the layout.
