You sir are a genius !! I just performed the uncoupling mechanism tiedown and now my set runs like it should. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
I amazes me that anyone at MTH would think this mechanism would be useful on a tinplate passenger set. They obviously did not test drive it on a real layout. I wonder how many sets will be returned because of it. I've attached 2 short videos of my new UP set running on my layout.
