funny enough had this idea over 40 yrs ago but no small enough magnets were around and for a large amount of trucks would have been a pain to make anything fit so i am glad to see someone as found a way to do it..

Nice but we cannot uncouple remotely.... if there is no need ... ok however on a operation yard simulation... is of no use...! But for coupling, simply coupling looks efficient and reliable...? Very nice!.... many thanks for the update and for sharing! Cheers!
Yes it is to be used more with the need to keep trains together. Another great feature is that the electrical couplers can be used with older railcars so you can easily uncouple them. Even new railcars have electrical couplers that are very hard to use and some near impossible especially when your eyes are no longer that good.
ReynauldsEuroImports , Tell me about the eyes.... The exhibition was for HO.... does it exists for Z Scale? Many thanks, for the vid and your reply! Cheers!
I don´t like this magnetic couples because some trains use telex couples and will not uncouple if there is metal or magnetic couples. ESU do have magnetic telex couple but you can only use plastic couple to let ESU locomotive uncouple the wagons. I use Roco short couples number 40395 and they are excellent!
I think these couplers are mostly design to keep trains from uncoupling on a layout, many layouts run trains that they keep together permanently like unit trains. Also EMU rail cars and high speed trains that use electrical couplers are a nightmare to coupler and uncouple. The magnetic current conducting coupler would be perfect for these types of trains.
I'm so happy that you carry these--I just ordered some, and look forward to trying them. Really glad to find them in stock with you.

Will this work on locomotive also different manufacturer? Thank you
Yes it will
Are these still in production? They seem to be pretty hard to come by - at least the NEM compatible ones.
Yes we expect more in late summer

Any possibility these are available in N scale ?
Not yet but you never know maybe in the near future.
Hey it's Rey!
Hi man!
Hello, this magnets couplers are only available for H0 scale or also in G scale?
only HO sorry
