Bachmann have advised against feedback controllers and electronic HF track cleaners since their fitting of DCC sockets, and the latter may well destroy decoders. I've had no problems operating in analogue with blanking plugs fitted or the socket and electronics entirely removed but this has all been with conventional motors. The resin innards of the tiny cheap coreless motors used by DJM in their own and commissioned products will melt if heated so that makes them prone to damage from HF track cleaners and the regular feedback controllers designed for conventional iron core motors. My understanding is that Bachmann have stayed with conventional motors except for a tram model and possibly the new Wickham trolley.
A breakthrough for 00 NEM couplings ?

I'm sorry but I cant see the point of them. They can't even be coupled or uncoupled without the hand of god to lift wagons off the track! The distance between wagons is too great, and being rigid they are as bad as Kadees in being unable to replicate the movement of wagons within a loose coupled freight.
