The magnet sets on the track between the rails, place them whereever you need them, I only use HO Kadee couplers, the best. Again Roberts book can be your bible. Herb Sr

I can’t address your question regarding DCC operation but if you go to this web address:

http://www.nmra.org/beginner/couplers.html

you should have all your coupler questions answered. I’m sure if you poke around on the NMRA web page which is associated with the link I provided above, you should also find some info on DCC operations.

Hope this helps,

Geof
