Rapido is a Canadian model train supplier who is innovating for the hobby by solving long standing annoying problems. The two problems are the remote uncoupling by magnets and switch machines with targets. The Kadee design for electro-magnetic uncoupling is 30+ years old and requires major surgery to your roadbed and sub roadbed. The new Rapido solution takes less space and uses a blue LED to mark the spot for uncoupling. An obvious solution that results in a "why didn't I think of that" moments. The second solution is the new switch machine with an integrated switch stand. This item will solve the issue of knowing which way the turnout is thrown in a yard ladder. The other operational help is when you are coming down the mainline and you need to make sure the last operator returned the points to normal when they finished using the siding. Take the link below and review the products.
