ABSTRACT:
Apparatus used for coupling and decoupling of model railroad cars which employs first and second coupling units, one on each car. Each unit employs a horizontal member having a curved opening at one end and a latching means which can be disposed either into the opening or outside of it and can be pivoted into either position. Each unit further employs a locking element having normal locked position at which the latching means can be moved into or out of the opening. A tiltable control lever extends through the member and has means cooperating with the locking element for unlocking same. The units are moved toward each other to couple and are moved away from each other to uncouple. When the units are coupled, the latching means engage each other and are disposed within the corresponding openings.
