I think that's why a hybrid solution could be one solution. My current planning includes for 3 link for stock permanently raked and hybrid wagons with 3 link one end and a Kadee on the other for shunting purposes and connecting these rakes together.

Some form of onboard DCC controlled uncoupling is what we need....

My leading dots always bring out RJ!!

I was thinking about memory wire for this application (seen it used somewhere else for that matter) however individual wagons needing decoders would be cost prohibitive so it would be best used in a tender I guess with the release from coaching stock at a station in readiness for a run around or something similar. Only issue there is that that is actually probably one of the easier uncoupling via magnetic locations there is in terms of repeatable location to uncouple as opposed to shunting away in yards. Hmmmmm, must check this out further Richard....
