The tutorial I have been looking for. Thank you

Glad it was helpful!

I’m happy the algorithm suggested your channel👍🏼
I’m new to model railways and model in N Gauge.
This is great advice and something to do in the future.

That was really clear. I'm planning to use these coupling on a little shunting layout in a violin case, and this video takes some of the worry out of the process. My intention is to convert one end of a brake van so i don't have to modify a loco.

Thanks for the comment, I am glad that you found the video helpful.

It's occurred to me watching your video that all I need to do is set up a transition coach, like your truck, and I can decouple a rake of coaches in one simple motion ! Great little instructive video.

Hi, I have had these couplers for quite some time now still in the unopened packet. Your explanation of what, and how to add these couplers I found to be well demonstrated and will now have a go at converting the wagons over the weekend. Much appreciated regards Joe

This was very interesting. Can the Dapol coupling do the delayed uncoupling trick the Yanks have on their knuckle couplers (ie if you push two wagons together over the magnet they don't couple and you can push them along the track and drop one off)?

[@LlanfordParkModelRailway]

Thanks for your comment. If you keep pushing back, when the couplings are no longer over the magnet the couplings will close and lock again.

@@LlanfordParkModelRailway Thanks, noted, more magnets then.
