For the guy with uncoupling problems – try checking clearances of the couplings as they pass over turnouts – I changed the wheels on some carriages recently and had a problems of uncoupling until I found out the the new wheels were slightly smaller than the originals which meant the carriages were lower to the track and the uncouplers touched the track on passing over them. It’s quite often the simplest thing. So I changed my wheels back.
