I finally had the time to look at your videos. Very ingenious solution to the problem of uncoupling magnets causing nuisance uncoupling. I think I saw something similar in a Model Railroader or Railroad Model Craftsman magazine years ago, but if I remember correctly they used a push/pull automotive choke cable to raise and lower the magnet. Your solution is much simpler and I suspect much less expensive than choke cables if a person is going to need numerous uncoupling magnets installed on a layout.
