Reply to "Favorite Modern feature on locomotives"

I like the automatic uncoupler system on my MTH RailKing loco's.

After spending nearly my entire model train life with Swiss made Buco 3 rail O gauge tinplate that had "drop-link" couplers, and the need to have "the hand of God" uncouple the cars and carriages, I am rapt in being able to uncouple a consist on a siding, while the loco is standing still or even on the move.......all with the comfort of a couple of buttons to push on the transformer or hand-held remote!!!!

It's got to the point now where I am slowly converting selected Buco wagons and cars.....and fitting them with "dummy" knuckle couplers at one end, so they can pull my other Buco wagons and cars behind my MTH loco's.

Chuff sounds, smoke, and diesel engine revving come in at a close second!!
