What you call simple activation isn't so simple. Try it. Unless, of course, you don't mind overheating a magnet or unloading when uncoupling.
It's not just child-proofing; it's me-proofing.
No, I have the FasTrack version. It looks the same on the outside. I only use it to uncouple and the center magnet for an MTH slow movement log dumper.
I'll check it out. It's all your fault.
Edit Part 2: I also only run command or LionChief and the FasTrack Operating track has all of the connections made for track power use. I have never used tubular track or any of that era stuff. Command operation makes things easy. The wiring under the track separates the buttons.
Alas, I diverge from the topic. back to our regularly scheduled programming.
