After spending a good hour trying to figure out how everything went together I unsoldered the 2 wires on the coupler.It might be an easy job for a lot of members but when your hands shake its not very easy.After several burns from the soldering iron its all back together TG Eddie

		Regards, Jim I have almost all Märklin and mostly HO, although I do have a small number of Z gauge trains! So many trains and so little time.
