    Atlas Loco DCC decoders

    It may be, or not. But what happens when you have more then 1 loco on the tracks, you forget to change the settings back( being distracted). All your Loco's will be set to the same address. Then you would have to start over. Bad thing if you have several Loco"s. CAS

    Kadee uncoupling magnets

    I have seen 2 different types of magnets for Kadee, 1 that goes on top of the ties, and 1 that goes under the roadbed. The magnet that goes under the roadbed, after glueing the ballast to the track. Is the magnet still strong enough to uncouple my rolling stock? The glue and ballast will that...
