DCC Decoder Loco uncoupler For Tension Hook Using Micro Magnetic Coil
has anyone tried to use these micro magnetic actuator's on a DCC chip to lift a coupler on a loco ?

i am going to try it anyway, but any pointers from others would be helpfull etc, and i have search site but could not find anything atm
Many thanks

This is using a gaugemaster dcc27. With attached stay alive capacitor, solderd to DC end of diode rectifyer
And a simple transistor (2N3096 PNP) switch circuit that lets the coil be driven from DC of diode rectifyer, to avoid to much amp draw through the dcc decoder like this one were relay is coupler coil
The Coil is wound in 36AWG enamaled wire and i used green and purple function wires so inderpendent rear and fro
