Thanks for actually demonstrating the installation and correct use of the uncoupling magnets Sparky. They have been around forever, but I have generally seen them abused more than used. Again, thanks for the contribution to the community knowledge base. Art...
Hi Sparky, Not just Ho I have some of these also with the uncoupling ramp in the terminal station and they do work very well far better I think than the Hornby ramps for uncoupling the standard coupling we use here so this was interesting to me and quite a few over here use them. Keep well and safe. Cheers Robert.
Good demonstration of the coupler action but if you use code 100 magnets on code 100 track you do not have to cut out the ties. Trip pins need to be adjusted to fit just over the plate on the front of the coupler height gauge and there is a plunger pin on the back of the gauge for setting the magnets at the correct height
I use the code 83 magnets on my code 100 track. You dont have to cut the ties out. They fit pretty good. And if you decide to move them you have a hole in the track to fill
Great video Sparky. We have played around with one of these and will be buying more. All of our locos and trains are converted to Kadee couplers so this should work great.
I've installed the under track magnets. Not as good right before or after a curve. Best on straights. I am going to try those above track versions next. I am betting they work better.
I was just thinking about this . Maybe the refrigerator magnet sheets available from most craft store could be cut ans glued in between the rails. Hmmmmm
sparky took you this long to figure out to couple the cars up yea who given you the madness idea you can hand uncouple your rail cars? laugh my sore gut off lol

Bought an old used bunch off eBay, nice demo. And I'm finally grasping code 100 vs code 83 vs ???. Thanks Sparky. - Alan
I use code 83. I found that simply gluing them on top of the ties works well too. No need to cut the ties.
That was a super demo Sparky, I am eager to try it now! Very helpful, straightforward and easy to see!
I plan on adding a lot of these. Great demo! - Jason
Nice demonstration Sparky. Those do work really well. Thank you for sharing.
Super easy, thanks Sparky , Kayde couplers are the best

Nice short demo, I am looking at getting this sort of thing for the new On30 layout, Cheap and simple makes me happy :)
Those are very nice. I like how you don't have to touch or mess with the couplers
I'm liking the how to videos. Thanks Sparky!

Those are a cool way of uncoupling Sparky
Great demo of how this works.
Thank you sparky showing how to use those i thought about getting some

great demo David..thx for sharing.. vinny
nice video sparky i enjoy your videos they are very imforative for me being a newbie

Great demo Sparky. I put one of these too close to turnout so it didn’t work. 🤬. Other two on straighter track work ok.
I am planning o. Giving these a go. Even tho I’ve cut off a lot of my trip pins. I wonder if the 83 could be used on code 100
Great how to! Good job!
Nice video Sparky!
Thanks sparky good demo
Thanks for posting!
Great review sparky.
Awesome video!!!
I thought my first divorce was uncoupling but now I know the real meaning, Thank you
good vid keep up the good work
Nice 👍👍😎
I was just thinking about this . Maybe the refrigerator magnet sheets available from most craft store could be cut ans glued in between the rails. Hmmmmm
Good uncoupling
Nice video!
Half the cost if you cut them in half! You have to be a bit more precise in the uncoupling process.
Since when do you go cheap. lol
