I was using "advance search" for Gary S' home made Kadee uncoupling electro magnets, but I didn't have any success finding what I was looking for. Gary has so many posts that if the search function doesn't find the specific post I'm looking for, I would need to search thousands of posts to find it. He had a very nice design using two kadee electrical coils for O gauge if I remember correctly. The only thing you would need to do to modify your cars is to make sure wheels and axles are non magnetic and use metals other than iron or steel for car weights.

Russ,Why not use delayed uncoupling? I use it a lot on some of my ISLs to cut down on the number of magnets and it works like a charm.
