As it says HO to start with then N to follow :claphappy:

What I cannot work out is how they still work when the car is turned round :hmmm:
I thought for a minute it was April 1st >:D

So did I when i first noticed them :D

Excellent ! :thumbsup:
I did notice that the coupler trip pins were missing, i hope they still work with the hoses on....
presumbably you could do away with the couplers altogether and have hands free uncoupling albeit without a remote shunting option? Dx
That's all I need for realism - an Uncoupling Stick.
Gotta get one :-X

How do you work that one out? In the video there is not enough magnetic force to drag the wagon! ;)

If the magnetic end has a N and S magnet adjacent to each other this would work when turned surely? Something like this:-

[ N ][ S ]

Thats so they uncouple the in same way as many freight shunters do it, pull them apart.

Yes I know, that was exactly my point in that you couldn't do away with the couplers as Dean suggested! ;)

i presume the uncoupling of the brake hoses is done with a below track electro magnet. how did you think it was done? dean

They just pull them apart, nothing alse required ;)
cheers John.
With my luck and the light weight of N gauge wagons I can see a few lying on their side after the hand of God stabs them. :D
