Greetings from Western Australia! In my (admittedly limited) experience with N scale switching I've had the problem of couplings not engaging with each other, but instead, just pushing the stationary wagon along the track. Perhaps a disadvantage of have the very free running bearing we have today. Now I'm talking about Kadee type equipment here so this must affect many other modellers out there. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to brake a wagon until the coupling are connected? I've thought of setting up a rectractable pin that would emerge though a hole in the baseboard at a certain point on a siding, which would poke up into a little piece of foam mounted under a wagon, effectively holding the vehicle in place. Does this make sense? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
