Metal N Scale Wheels = Affect Kadee Uncoupling?

Model Railroader General Discussion (Model Railroader)

If I switch out my plastic freight wheels for Atlas metal, will this affect Uncoupling at all with magnetic Kadees? I mean, will it interfere with the magnetism physics?

Thanks guys

I have not experienced any problems. The uncoupler magnet can slow down a lone coasting car as the force grabs the wheels sets.

All my MT and Intermountain rolling stock have Atlas and IM metal wheels and I haven’t noticed any strange uncoupling behavior. They do roll and sound better however… [:D]

In a word. No.

The IM and Atlas wheel sets have brass or N/S axles - non-magnetic…
