Skip,

Timesavers in N scale are easy enough to build, but not to operate, because it requires a delicate touch to manually uncouple the cars.  And, the very nature of Timesavers makes them impractical for remote control uncoupling.

Not so!   Microtrains magnetic couplers are reliable and work quite well for switching.   Personal experience.   Plan out the locations for your uncoupler magnets - wherever you would put a remote uncoupler.

Remote couplers on the locos like O scale are not available though, which limits the fun a bit.
