I can give them an older 1011 transformer adjusted to 12 volts or so and move the red spade connector under the track from TRK PWR to AUX PWR There was another thread about the AC portion not interfering with the DC portion. with the common ground.
Or get a 1033 to do the same and the train with the Bluetooth remote and hook up the uncoupler track to the auxiliary terminals on it. Or I can get him a new AC transformer for his birthday.

At 25 watts the 1011 may not be enough. The 1033 certainly should be sufficient to run the Uncoupler. You'll probably want to test these while it's all still at your house. Based on you connection plan description, it sounds like you've got that figured right.

Good Luck!
