Couplings

Here, just to the right of the crane is the uncoupling wire. Hard to see, that was the object of the exercise.I did experiment initially with a clear perspex ramp bu it was too strong and had the effect of lifting the wagons or stalling passing locos.
At the moment,'Hennock' is stored so I cannot show the uncoupler with a wagon, but when getting ready for the next exhibition I will photograph how it works.
As you may guess, i am getting better with the camera, I am especial;;y impressed with yesterdays close up of the finished coupling. Bear in mind the unit is only 12mm in width so I am getting better!
