Yes they do. They are all connected together, so by pressing down on the either side plate also depresses the central plate. I find them very useful and have fitted quite a few locos with them now.... helps a lot with manual uncoupling.
looks
Looks the answer ... as I mentioned they do a knuckle version. Also the paltes cover the slight toy look of the loop.
And I cant use the track based thing as I feel it stops you shunting away .... as you would re attache?
I also noted at £16 for a pair tyhe knuckles would go bonkers price...... so I am trying to keep cost down and get the stuff working.
As I wont have to change the loops .... it looks good.
Did you metion there is a non digital version for my stock?
I can add the check plate myself if not.
my first railway for myself ..... not family..... cant bloody wait. Made 8x bents yesterday.

8442010 Switching Coupler 2.0 (2/pack)
this does look like a good product.
Its funny how one can get obsessed with tiny details, like I did over my window latches at home.... then you never look again.
Still remote coupling is a great thing im guessing when it may be down the garden in the winter.

James at the above is such a lovely and helpful chap.
Im off to see my chum who plays Steve Mcdonald in Coronation street as he has a bench saw to cut my trestle timbers. (name drop) ...
Loco not back from Dave yet, so construction only.
Thanks chaps

Hi John,
Only just got a moment to sit and look at your advice. Looks really interesting and certainly a route I will have to learn to get the Cv's set.
Found a good remote coupling unit from the guys below.

I couldn't find a knuckle version and as Im setting up US western locos it would ave been better. But at £16 for two non actuated it would be an expensive swop out for the existing hook loops. With the one above the check plate sort of stops you seeing the loop.
Also its on the loco not on the track so Im guessing shunting away a rake of carriages without reconecting is possible. Esp good when its winter of raining.
Anyway I will have a proper look at the details you sent and thanks.
Wimbeldon has just started and its hot outside so time for some strawberries.....
Chris.
Hi chaps,
After all your fab advice I collected my loco again yesterday….. it was indeed the two wires to the motor being the wrong way.
So last night I ran it and the direction is correct and the lights are coming in in the right direction.
Box ticked. Thank you.
I’ve been making “bents” to make trestles and giving them a light bar b q to age
Phil helped me to get going last night but it seems happy enough clicking around today.
So I’m back to the wood cut for parts to start the up to table height.
I looked at coupling advice from you all and it seems the loop hook with a check plate cover is the only remote uncouple way.
Couldn’t find a knuckle version.
And the massoth one has its own decoder so can work on its own.
I’m probably going to have two rakes any way of mixed traffic.
So loco off shunt set into siding pick up the freight.
Well for now.
Also just got 4066 log wagon for £38 so very pleased as I believe they didn’t make many at LGB and it’s a lovely addition to North America railways as I imagine they were mixed trains …. Two carriages for people and bits and f random frieight.
Well any ideas let me know.
Hope you are all well and out in the sun.
We are doing bar b chicken.
It’s called beer can chicken.
You put a can of ale up its ass with some holes in the tin and keeps it moist.
