NoelG Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Demo shunting 2 axle goods wagons showing uncoupling and delayed uncoupling. The sound on B165 is by WheelTappersDCC. Their sound project has an F12 function that synchronises the loco nudge movement required to uncouple over a Kadee 321 between the rails magnet and the uncoupling sounds as well as the brake releases, etc. Please forgive poor camera work, I was on my own with cab control in one hand and camera phone in the other hand. I committed the video no-no of hand held loco tracking! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoelG Posted September 23, 2018 Author Share Posted September 23, 2018 IRM Ballasts underwent some enjoyable Kadee shunting and uncoupling trails today. And it was a success. Short video clip below. Because occasionally I like to run, shunt and marshal these lovely wagons with other Kadee fitted stock, I have glued Kadee No 18 NEM couplings to the underside of the NEM pockets rather than into the NEM pockets. This gives a more correct height for activating uncoupling using the Kadee trip pin over uncoupling magnets. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
