Jaggzuk Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 Hi Vecchio, yes I have used the in track magnetic uncoupler for the Kadee, but used a group of neodymium magnets between sleepers rather than the large Kedee slab. Partly because all my track was down before I decided to go for Kadee. My rolling stock is a mix of old and new, so the coupling types vary considerably from large metal D hooks, moulded within the bogie type, to NEM and even they vary in height! So for Kadee, I have to undertake a variety of conversions to achieve reliable coupling. A magnetic coupling had made the conversion process quicker, cheaper and more location tolerant. Plus in my eye, the Hunt is a lot less visually obtrusive than the Kadee in my fixed rakes. With a bit of weathering using some frame dirt paint they will look even better. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggzuk Posted September 8, 2022 Author Share Posted September 8, 2022 Well, it took two evenings, but all my photos are now re-uploaded after the data loss. And to think its been over two years since my last post!! Wow Anyway, the layout is still there, a lot more rolling stock and locos have accumulated on the layout, thanks to Christmases. The fiddle yard is full, and so are many storage boxes. It all needs a good tidy up and a clean. Not much has happened on the layout construction wise, life does that to you and the boys have discovered Nintendo Switch and other tech. But, the layout still get a bash once in a while, when mates come round and they fancy “real” things to play with and not screens. Anyway, hope to pick up some of the many modelling projects this winter. Oh yes, I also converted a nice big van into a Campervan for the family, so that took my focus the last two years!! Great to be back 6 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
