Michael, I had the same question. Would one position the couplers over a gap between blocks? I never had blocks except on sidings on my previous DC layouts, so had to use the 5 finger method. I'm loving the ability to make and break consists anywhere on the layout with DCC.

I'm not criticizing, it just seemed funny. So with analog DC, how does one couple two powered diesels "prototypically?" With DCC, you drive one locomotive up to the other until they couple. I don't recall a prototype for the 5 finger lift method of coupling two diesels with DC. Maybe you could use the one finger push, and say it represented winching? -Michael Eldridge [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Yahoo!
