I've been collecting train cars for two years - mostly Kadee and Proto 2000 units. This past year I've been buying brass units from Overland, Chalenger, Railroad Classics, etc. Problem is - most come without couplers. What does one do - I see Kaddee #5s and is there #58s in Model Railroad Magazine, but not sure what the process is to buy these items.Kadee's website has a #78 as of July 18th which looks like a fully assembled unit. Do I need special tools? And what's this magnetic uncoupler unit all about? I get the concept, but have not laid any track other than a club module. Is one better than another? I've seen electric uncouplers in the train shops. Anyone care to give me any advice?
