The coupler height is wrong, too high from track.
also the trip wire under the coupler that detects the magnet is at the wrong height.
I recommend you purchase the correct tool (coupler height gauge) for you brand of couplers.
your hobby store should have it for a modest price.
this will greatly improve operation & make your enjoyment of operations soar.

Sometimes I use my uncoupling stick to shake the car on the magnet if I can reach it. On my DCC layout you can very quickly reverse the direction of the loco,and the uncoupling will work……Herb Sr
