Rapido Railcrew Uncoupler ~ Trent Valley Railway #59

A detailed look at the Rapido Railcrew Remote on off magnetic Uncoupler installation and operation using DCC for de-coupling the locos to and from container trains on the Trent Valley Railway.
I have installed these before laying the track and scenery and I am using DCC to switch these on or off. For installation on an existing layout with scenery (track and ballast) and on DC operation with the manual switch take a look at this video - • Rapido Uncoupler

These look very interesting, plan to use these for my yard, and because of space, my yard is located in the furnace room, so access not easy, , great video

looks excellent, like your layout as it relates to my extensive container collection - think i might have an addiction, 18 units for a replica drs daventry wentloog stobart, currently working on a deep sea freightliner sets aim to have about 16 units on that. enjoy your vids, cheers.....

Plenty of different liveries and colours to bring it to life for containers

You did an excellent job of installing the uncouplers. I just purchased them and am in the process of wiring and installing them. Couple of questions though, my command station is also esu which switchpilot did you use and what was that addapter that you purchased. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Angelo

[@SolarRailway]

Hi Angelo , have you managed to set up ok? Thanks Matt

[@angelodecarlo9693]

@@SolarRailway I have, looked at your video a few times and fried 1 uncoupler lol but all good now. Thanks for relying

[@dallasthomas9298]

Just watched you greta video. My question is what sound chip and sepaker do you have in the Class 66 I have the Bachmann 66 with facotry sound but yours sounds so much deeper and more realistic. keep u the great work Dallas

[@SolarRailway]

Hi Dallas, in the Hattons models for the DRS compass and colas liveried stock I have the legomanbiffo sounds with the em2 speaker but in the older bachmann 66 for stobart rail and Malcolm locos I have fitted the Hornby TTS sounds . Hope this helps. Thanks
