Well, after that bit of silliness I'm enjoying a ramble in your garden. Thanks.
Thanks Wolf, been on-site for a few days sorting an installation but I should get back to the lad sometime this week. Have been experimenting with Kadees for N Gauge, so far they seem rather good but I haven't had time to experiment much with the magnet side of things as yet (I am hoping to use permanent magnets in a sliding guide under the tracks, as recommended via this group). Not least because they are an easier option than winding a load of electro magnets.

Hi Mike, Can I pick your brain about Kadees for N gauge. I assume that they replace the original Arnold Rapido thingummys? Can you tell me what type they are and where to get them as I would like to give them a go. I have tried various methods for uncoupling the standard ones and the only success of any worth I have had is with the Fleischman ones that are built into the track.

Early days on this one for me, so far I have purchased a couple of locomotives and some rolling stock all pre fitted with Kadee or Lifelike couplers, which work well together. I also bought some truck-mounted Kadees to make up mixed rakes with Rapido's in the centre. I have a couple of (cheap) locos with Rapido couplers, one being a Bachman that runs well and would be worth fiddling with. Kadee offer a range of couplers to replace Rapido types in locomotives, but it's not just plug and play yet and I haven't bought a set for the engine so I have no experience. I haven't yet tried mating Kadees onto UK outline stock but one or other of the 'loco' couplers might work as these are designed to replace Rapidos. As far as I know (and I could be wrong) no one offers swap-in replacements to fit Rapido sockets, yet. Bachmann have been producing an HO Kadee style coupler for their US outline which I understand they plan to offer as a NEM plug-in for N, possibly this year. The only N Rapido type coupler system I have had success with was Fleishmann, very reliable but does not work with other makes (not at all with my old Lima and Hornby Minitrix stock). I had success with the old MBM coupler, which worked fine but lacked the delayed uncoupling of the Kadee type. I had a quick go with the Peco magnetic type (actually using a bent track pin as per the orginal article in the N Gauge Journal) but this requires either electro magnets or sliding permanent magnets (and I didn't think of the latter idea until it got a mention in this group for Kadees). From my limited experience the MBM was a better option.
Sorry I'm not of much use - Been a bit busy so things progressing painfully slowly this end.

That is all food for thought - many thanks. During my searches I did come across this:
Thanks, I had seen that, took a while but I have identified the couplers I need for the Bachmann engine, although I get the impression some 'fettling' may be required. If I get time to have a proper go I'll post the results to this group.
Regards
Mike
Thanks, I'll look forward to it. I am less likely to get the time these days due to increasing young grandchildren duties. Who said retirement was easy ;o)
