ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a device for uncoupling the cars of model trains travelling on tracks assembled on conventional cork roadbeds. The uncoupler disclosed and claimed operates from a normal, inactivated position in which no parts extend between the track rails, to an activated state in which a pair of wings rotate to fold towards one another between the track rails and engage the depending fingers of car couplers between cars indexed at the car uncoupling position.
