ABSTRACT:
A magnetic coupling assembly for model railroad cars. The assembly comprises a retainer adapted for attachment to a car and magnet mounted on the retainer. The magnet may have a cylindrical shape with faces of opposite polarity, and it may be mounted on a pivot pin connected to the retainer, allowing the magnet to pivot freely about the pin. A kingpin may attach the assembly to a model railroad car between a truck assembly and the car body, or the coupling assembly may be integral with a truck assembly. A model railroad car may be mounted with one or more coupling assemblies. Adjacent cars are coupled when the magnets of their respective assemblies contact one another.
