Uncoupling magnets

Don't do it! Unless you are planning on the electro-magnet that you can turn off and on when needed. One of our local clubs is determined to remove all the magnets off the switching module because they cause a seemingly unlimited number of problems - uncoupling when not wanted, not uncoupling when wanted, catching on the "gladhands". One friend who operates on a regular basis has actually cut off all the gladhands in order to superdetail his rolling stock. He uncouples with a tool or a bamboo skewer. His argument is that that's the way the real railroads do it! <br /> <br />Andrew <br />
