Sandyman, <br /> <br />If I understood your message right, you were looking for a hand held device that would uncouple a hook and loop, where both wagons had a hook? Hmm, I know your problem, when only one wagon has got the hook, you can uncouple reasonably easy, but when both have a hook you end up picking one of the wagons up and screwing it around before both of those damn hook will let go! <br /> <br />We use an old credit card (or plastic of similar size) nailed to a stick of wood. You will find that the gap between where the loops meet on each wagon should be just enough to slip the credit card in. When you pu***he card down it pushes down both hooks at once, then you move one wagon forward, remove the card and drive the train way. <br /> <br />The stick of wood was so that you do the whole operation standing up (if track was at ground level). Hope you can understand all this. <br /> <br />Regards, <br />Glen Anthony.
