Excellent video Ewood! Now that Kadee has these couplers for the types of locomotives, I might find one to run on my layout just for kicks and giggles, lol! Take care!
I converted to kadees a while ago, well worth it. If you havent got one already i'd really recomend the height gauge. It allows you to make sure all of the couplings are the same height and also tests the 'brake hoses' wont catch on points. As for magnets they do sell large uncoupling magnets that go between the rails, I've hidden 3mm cylindrical magnets in the ballast that work well and are alot cheaper. The steel 'hose' is easily bent up to avoid point rails etc.
@@ewoodrailway I think it deleted as I had a link Try typing F04125-10 first4magnets. It turns out they're 4mm cylinder magnets. Drill 2 holes between the sleepers and put one magnet by each rail. One south pole up and the other north pole up. It doesn't matter which way so long as they're opposites. The magnets will pull the 'hoses' outwards if you reverse over it and stop then pull forward slowly.
Hey Ewood Railway thankyou for subscribing to my channel it's a little rough but it'll get better I'd hope haha have a awesome day sir . And btw your vids are awesome !!!
i had to cut off half of the drop down hose as they catch the points on my layout with the track going up and down as the trains go around the circut and i been told to buy the KD 119 couplings they have the extra top and bottom on the couplings like as exstention so they dont uncoupling when a tanker derails in real life and puncture the tank so you buy tank car coupling K D 119 i am still looking for them on line to buy
White Wall Wheels 1 Hard Core M_O_H thanks for your comments, I'll be investigating more to see what I can and cannot achieve with them. The point that was causing issues is the one in the video, the others seem ok. I'm undecided on how much of my stuff I will convert as sadly some are old and have the D couplings. Hunts have great reviews but didn't work on my layout, I was also unimpressed that they didn't respond to my issues but were very quick to email before I made the purchase.id certainly avoid.
Good video, I saw a demo of these on a live stream earlier today and they did mention you made a video on it. The one thing that attracts me to these is the fact that you can uncouple with a magnet on the track making for shunting operations, etc without manual intervention. I run N scale but not sure if Kadee make these for N. Cheers, John
Model Geek to be honest the 19s were all they had and I thought for £5.75 I'd give them a go. When I come to get some more I may try a different size and see what the results are. If you closely over that point they are really tight so shorter ones might not work
Wow, its all been removed, you've obviously got new plans for layout, cool. Whats next for Ewood Railways? What type of scenes are you going to do. Did I miss a video? All the best. Brian @ The Angels
@@ewoodrailway aah, that makes sense, I glued most structures down as its fixed in place. Look forward to more updates. I've been pondering moving to Kadee's as I have some derailments across points. I have about 5 different versions of D type couplers.

wow! nice work Ewood, thanks for sharing...., beautiful locomotive, love it.
Thanks for your kind comments
Very awesome layout and great video
Thanks so much pal
Very nice layout and collection
I'm a Train Person thanks so much
I enjoyed the video.
Thanks nick
Great video.. Thanks for sharing.. 👍😎👍
Thankyou
Very nice video 👋🏻👋🏻
Nice captures, excellent train! Best Regards Railherbie
Thanks so much
Great video.Enjoy it thanks
Diesel Dave's Model Ralway Thankyou
@@ewoodrailway Thank you at the moent doing a layout.
Excellent demo and yes I agree they do look better when they're coupled I'll try it out on my 68s. I have done it with my class 57 atb Andy
Moorland Model Railway Andy I agree, I'm impressed
Excellent train 👍🚂👌

Horsehay RM thanks for your comment, I'll certainly be looking into the options
Horsehay RM may i ask what the 3mm magnets and where you got them from? The large paste does look ridiculous in my opinion
@@ewoodrailway I've tried to reply twice. Let me Know if you can see them on your account if not I'll type it out again.
Horsehay RM not got it mate please try and resend it

Very nice layout I've subscribed.
Thankyou very much
@@ewoodrailway your welcome
Very interesting. I've viewed and subscribed bud. 👍
Thanks Dennis

Thanks so much
Nice to see I'm currently getting nem pockets to fit onto my older rolling stock
Digger Evans model railway money well spent mate
@@ewoodrailway wheres the best place to buy those Kadees from?
Digger Evans model railway I just chanced a local shop
Nice demo on the coupler difference, hope there still working for you
They are , thanks for your comments
great vid:)

plus the drop down hose is where the magnet is to decouple the couplers and with me cutting them off there now no magnets

Wimbletrain they certainly are a decent product, may I ask which stream you found he info about my upload from?
@@ewoodrailway Someone mentioned it in the chat on the live stream modelling Monday on channel Human[c]ity Junction
Wimbletrain thanks so much
They are better than the big standard D couplings but even these can uncouple running
David Howarth I'm impressed now going to invest in the uncoupling magnets
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
They do look solid!
Have the builders moved in?
Thanks for the video, take care pal😃
Bleak Hall micro they are solid. No builders and thanks for the comment
good vid
ANFIELD ROAD LAYOUT IN THE LOFT thanks mate
there is also long medium and short couplings i am looking for the long ones they fit better on the coaches and you can take narrower bends
What a difference!
Model Geek yes definitely, a bit of trial test and error and I think we're there. Thanks for watching
@@ewoodrailway did you find the 19 long the best size for spacing etc?
Model Geek to be honest the 19s were all they had and I thought for £5.75 I'd give them a go. When I come to get some more I may try a different size and see what the results are. If you closely over that point they are really tight so shorter ones might not work
They really look tidy too and to scale what can you ask for. Thanks for sharing love your content 👍
WHAT’S IT ABOUT? with Phil Craig thanks mate, I'm impressed by them
Wow, its all been removed, you've obviously got new plans for layout, cool. Whats next for Ewood Railways? What type of scenes are you going to do. Did I miss a video? All the best. Brian @ The Angels
The layout folds up when not on use all the separate parts cone off so I can work on small areas without having to put it all together
