N Gauge Discussion / Re: More about couplingsLast post by PLD - Yesterday at 08:30:47 PMQuote from: Portpatrick on Yesterday at 03:49:20 PMIdeally I would prefer electrically operated magnets. Quote from: EtchedPixels on Yesterday at 04:58:57 PMMost electromagnets are not strong enough. In the US some folks build things so that small strong permanent magnets are mechanically lifted up to track level when they are operating.Most Electromagnets are strong enough for couplings designed to work with them such as B&Bs, DGs, Sprat & Winkle... (and you can up the magnetism by increasing the Amps if not...) The reason Dapol EasyShunt and other similar knuckle couplings don't work well with electromagnets is the orientation of the poles. In an Electromagnet, North and South are at the ends of the core which traditionally we'd mount vertically. The knuckle couplers mostly require the North-south axis orientated across the track... #13
General Discussion / Re: what are you listening to ...Last post by Moonglum - Yesterday at 07:36:01 PMThe first APP album I heard/owned was "Pyramid" and consequently bought more. But by the time of "Eye in the Sky" his output had become too samey for me and that was that! The APP was very successful in North America and South America and Europe, more so than here.

General Discussion / Re: Childhood model railwaysLast post by jpendle - Yesterday at 06:21:03 PMMy memories are a bit vague but when I was 4 or 5 I got one of these
![]() at least I think it was. There was a definitely the car transporter and an 0-6-0 tank. I promptly drove the loco off the kitchen table, so my dad swapped the couplings around. He passed away a year later and I have no recollection of what became of the train set. Regards, John P #16
N Gauge Discussion / MDN DesignsLast post by Busprowl - Yesterday at 06:21:00 PMHas anyone used MDN Designs and had issues getting there order?
Ordered 8 weeks ago and despite chasing Ive not had any communication or replys for nearly 7 weeks. Know it's a sole trader which I'm keen to support. #17
