Best magnetic coupler choice

[Hayashi]

I plan to replace all Rapido couplers with magnetics for shunting. I'm interested in the views on which couplers are best. I'll be running Kato, Tomix, and Greenmax trains.

 

I'm also interested to hear opinions on non-magnetic versus magnetic couplers. No matter which, I'm still replacing the Rapidos.

For magnetic with many different brands of rolling stok: Microtrains couplers. All other variants will just support their own brands properly. Having a single coupler manufacturer who supports multiple coupler mounting options will help with compatibility too.

 

Btw i think shunting with rapidos is easy. Also there is a magnetic rapido variant from Tomix.
