Simple Decoupler - Now on Ideas !

After some recent interest in the MKIII decoupler, it made me think should I put it on Ideas ?

Would it stand on its own, or should I group it with other track items or lighting ?

If you look at what TLG has said over the years, that automated controls/lights and other stuff which would turn our train layouts into proper model railways is not going to happen.  If you look at the interview with the designers of the 2014 trains in issue 15 of Railbricks magazine, you'll see the reasons why.

So alone it is.


I have no misconceptions that this very easy design could match the great models this program has produced (Ghostbusters, Exo Suit etc..)  That's not the point, I'm glad they changed its name to Ideas, because this is one that fits the definition.

Throw in a railroad minifig and you've got an Ideas Polybag !

So if you've built one, going to build one or just like the concept, please take a minute to register your support for the Simple Decoupler on the Ideas website.

thanks
