I just hope your entire freight train doesn't suddenly pile itself up on top of that machine.....

I also hope Hornby's quality control is good..imagine operating that uncoupler, to have one's wagon suddenly disintegrate?

US stuff really is built with Nuclear war in mind?

QUOTE The wagons do jerk to and off the magnetic plate as they pass over giving a strange effect as the train goes by.

what? Never watched a loose coupled freight moving?

There must be an awful lot of huge magnets under the tracks on the prototypes then?
