LGB manual uncoupling rail
playmofire:
Junker Jorge asked about the LGB manual uncoupling rail in the Loch Down railway thread and so I thought I'd separate it out as a thread of its own.
It's item number 1050W and came in a yellow box. There is no publication date on the single sheet of instructions nor on the underside of the uncoupling mechanism which is screwed onto a standard 30cm track length. I'll take a photo of the underside tomorrow and post it here. It clearly predates the electric uncoupling rail.
It is simply operated by pressing down a handle on the side which lifts a curved "ramp" and this drops the couplong hook of the truck going over the "ramp", releasing the previous truck.
Here are some photos.
First an overall view and then detail views.
In the last photo, the train is moving left to right.
I'll post a photo of the underside of the track and the instructions tomorrow.

Very interesting - and for me, a complete novelty :-[
I read about it on your other thread, and figured it was something of the sort - I know nothing of trains...

It is saying, "No wallet is fulfilled without a train".
