Reply to "Remote Control Kadees"

Yeah, I had read about them awhile back but also I like the electrocouplers on locomotives and was wondering if anyone had done something like that.

Two former forum members, both local to me, have done this. One runs three rail and located the coil from a claw coupler inside the car then used music wire from the slug in the coil to the Kadee. He posted his work here but as it was well over ten years ago I doubt you can find it

Another On3 modeler actually wound his own coils using very fine wire like 32 AWG and activated the coupler with DCC decoders. One of the many advantages of DCC is the ability to program custom decoders into your handheld.

So it can and has been done.
