I'm thinking about starting using Kadee couplers on my upcoming C-track layout. I've read in others threads (thanks Pierre Gillard) that the Kadees seems to run fine on C-track. But can I use the de-coupling tracks somehow? Is it possible to incorporate the under-track decoupler with C-track? Any ideas or thoughts?

Hansson,

Kadee's are usable on C-rail, but you need to bend the trip pin a little but upwards otherwise it will catch some "puko's". This bending is best (read easiest) done with the special kadee bending tool.

Decoupling is very easy when using long wooden sticks (used for shaslik sticks, barbeque, in Dutch "sate-prikker"). Just push them between the claws, wigle a bit and it pops loose. Or buy the Kadee uncoupling stick (also cheap).

Update: Have a look at the following page. All about Kadee, K-rails en uncouling!
