I find the usage of electromagnetic uncoupler is very appealing, and I have already experimented with the standard KD electromagnetic uncoupler. I also succeeded in strengthening the field by the method which was given in Model Railroader (which surely is a MUST to achieve reliable operation), but because of the power consumption on one hand side and the size of the device on the other hand side, I would prefer to use a more elegant solution. Positioning a permanent magnet with a motor is surely another possibility, but also this consumes quite some space and mechanical precision. Does anyone know of another/better solution to non-permanent uncoupling? Peter
