DCC operated uncoupling is now a reality. Well if you use Kadee's that is
I found this on page 91 of Model Railroader and here's the web site : DCC uncoupling

QUOTE (http://dccuncoupling.com/)Cars are priced at $49.95 for single-ended dccUncoupling, $69.95 for double-ended dccUncoupling, plus shipping and handling; less if you provide an Athearn car from our list of compatible rolling stock.
A bit of an expensive reality!

It will be a very long time before this technology is both unobtrusive and cheap...quite possibly we'll all be using holographically projected models and layouts before then...

Make the Krois coupling look cheap !

Based on my personal experience, the Krois system is superb for HO or LGB stock ( Only these 2 sizes available)

Better the loco does the uncoupling rather than the wagon methinks

This is a close up of the Krois system on the loco.. the coupling plugs into the NEM pocket !
The little brass button under the coupling tells you its Krois, its actually the electromagnet.

The loco also creeps towards or away from the wagon its coupling /uncoupling... can't see wagon doing that

I think this is a great piece of kit to be used on the first freight car of a rake. I most certainly am going to see if I can get one for my On30 layout.
