There are DCC couplers available for the standard European coupling - the coupler raises and lowers to uncouple. I guess something similar would be easy enough to implement with knuckle couplers, but I'd be inclined to stick with magnets. <br /> <br />I'd like to see more unusual prototypes modelled, and some existing ranges extended - example: The Walthers bilevels could have a matching cafe car (not sure if this is the right term) made - these appear to have been identical but with a couple of window bays filled in. <br /> <br />I agree about the switch machines. Peco are OK, but either need a hole cutting in your baseboard or a suitable structure to hide it on the surface. The best sytem I've seen so far is Kato, where the machine is built into the roadbed, but these are expensive and I've not used one so can't comment on whether they're any good - judging by my brother's Kato Bullet train I'd guess they're very high quality.
