Hobby Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I think the Bemo coupling can be modified in the same way, I remember operating an Austrain layout which used Liliput and Bemo couplers and had "under the track" magnets to uncouple.

I have seen that - adding a small piece of iron wire to the Bemo - very fiddly though Thanks David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobby Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 You need to take the metal coupler head off to do it, not so fiddly then! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussB Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 You can also have magnetic uncoupling with the Peco NEM couplers by using one of their track pins. It needs to be glued at an angle on one side of the loop, in a similar way to the Greenwich ‘hanger’. You can also have delayed uncoupling with the Greenwich, I haven’t tried this though.

Returning to this after starting a new 009 layout - how do you get delayed uncoupling with the Greenwich ? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobby Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 You can do it, someone on NGRM Online forum shows how, but you can use the DG 009 coupling which is compatible with the Greenwich and has delayed action built in. https://www.wizardmodels.ltd/shop/couplings/dgd/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobby Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Thanks, Mike, I was going to say that. I know several people on there us DGs and some have also modified Greenwich but i couldn't find just one link as they were part of other threads (and there was no point in posting it for the reason you say!). Best bet is to register and then ask the question at which point I know that several people will pile in to help. TBH if you model narrow gauge it's the best of the British model railway forums for the subject, just like RMWeb covers general model railway interests.

Hobby Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 I've given one of my friends over there a "nudge", hopefully he can help! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
