Reply to "Remote Control Kadees"

I'm not likely to switch from 3-rail to 2-rail since I've just invested quite a bit of money in Ross track and switches, but if there were remote control scale couplers (for locomotives) - I would probably convert my fleet.  That said - I don't like the look of the little tail that hangs off of the Kadee couplers that allow for magnetic uncoupling - though it does allow one to couple/uncouple rolling stock.

Is it even possible to convert to Kadee's without switching to 2-rail trucks though?  The Weaver style trucks can have the coupler shank removed, but I don't think MTH or Lionel couplers work that way - at least not all of them do.

It all depends on minimum curves, especially in the yard.  Kadees love having really wide curves.  As for the trucks, my experience is only with Lionel and K-Line and you would have to use a rotary saw to cut off the shanks unfortunately
