So I just converted my 7' x 21' layout from 027 tubular track to Fastrack and have a question about powering my uncouplers. 6-12020. With the new setup I seem to have to power up my transformer more to activate the cars magnates to release and by then they've usually traveled farther than I would like. With my old setup I could uncouple while still having the train moving slowly. I'm guessing this is based on the fact that the old couplers had a large red circle ( bigger area) to transmit a magnetic field. I have 9 bus wires ( lock ons ) evenly spaced around the layout so I don't think there is a lack of power. Your thoughts.
