Possibly a little large, and too powerful? - Though I suppose it depends on whether you shunt, or run express formations?

Sorry, but a bit of a blatant plug. There are some downloadable files for 3D printed magnetic couplers which can be pushed as well as pulled and are reversible on the Garden Rails Forum.

To access them, you need to register - but it's free to join and no adverts

I've recently fitted my coaching stock with Malc's Models magnetic couplings.

I intend to fit some to my Piko Shimmns wagons as well....

My thoughts on this date back to my 80/90s Lego days as a kid. The lego train had an excellent magnetic coupler which I have thought bout trying to recreate when time is allowed by the wife...

BE BRAVE !!!!!
