Let's hope this doesn't degenerate into a flame war, or a battle of the trolls (hmm...  roasted troll....).  I have an idea, and I thought I'd start a new thread to separate it from other related topics.  Specifically, the idea came to me while reading about Rob Teed's work with DCC uncouplers and his search for a smartphone app to control them.

Model animation—bringing models to life—adds enormously to the interest and enjoyment of any layout or individual model! This entry demonstrates the use of a different type of LED lighting that most people likely have not considered. It also may be the smallest scale model animation ever?

Waiting to Complete the Last Move of the Day

We now have some of the best models we will probably ever have, Assembled rolling stock and engines, DCC, sound, constant lighting and most running like Swiss watches, while still being reasonably priced. But uncoupling cars is still in the prehistoric age! I have bought or tried most ways to uncouple cars, but nothing seems to work all the time. Lifting a car to uncouple just ruins any kind of realism you're trying to accomplish.
