COMPARE OUR
DIFFERENT DIAMETERS
Here you will find the 3 different magnet diameters available for each coupler.
COUPLER Ø1X1,5MM
MAXIMUM DISCRETION
Ideal for models where available space is very limited. Its small size allows you to maintain an almost invisible appearance once installed.
RECOMMENDED USE
Up to 6 wagons
Wagons with low rolling resistance
Wagons with short or medium length
Ideal for KATO Swiss rolling stock
COUPLER Ø1,5X1,5MM
PERFECT BALANCE
A versatile option that combines a compact size with excellent holding strength, offering the perfect balance between discretion and coupling strength.
RECOMMENDED USE
Up to 16 wagons
Wagons with medium/high rolling resistance
Medium or long wagons
COUPLER Ø2X1MM
MAXIMUM STRENGTH
For applications that require greater magnetic strength and where a more powerful coupler is desired. Its larger diameter provides better performance.
RECOMMENDED USE
No limit has been found
Wagons with medium/high rolling resistance
Medium or long wagons
COMPATIBLE WITH EACH
OTHER
Although we recommend using the same magnet diameter on both sides of the consist, all three sizes are compatible with each other.
The combination of Ø1 mm with Ø2 mm is not recommended due to the difference in size between the two magnets. In contrast, the Ø1.5 mm with Ø2 mm and Ø1 mm with Ø1.5 mm combinations provide better coupling.
These combinations do not provide the same coupling conditions as using two magnets of the same diameter and are not the solution we recommend, both for visual and mechanical reasons. However, they allow different diameters to be combined when necessary.

USE THEM IN ANY DIRECTION
Due to differences in weight, some locomotives and wagons may perform better in one direction than the other. With DIGIModelTrains magnetic couplers, this is not an issue: you can reverse the magnet polarity as needed, without any concerns.
DESIGNED FOR THE KINEMATICS OF EACH MODEL
It’s not simply a matter of placing a magnet in a coupler
The new magnetic coupler for N scale has been designed with how the vehicle actually moves during operation in mind.
The kinematics of the coupler when entering curves have been studied, particularly its interaction with the locomotives’ buffers.
For this reason, the sides feature chamfered areas that reduce potential interference, allowing the assembly to rotate more freely.
In addition, the coupler length has been studied and adjusted for each model in our catalog, seeking a balance between good articulation, reliable coupling, and the smallest possible size.
The goal:
A magnetic coupler that is as small as possible, but designed to work correctly with each model.
