 My intrest lies in shunting (Swithing) operations. My layout is in the construction phase but on the club layout my tool of choice is an Acumate Switchman. Benefits: Uncouple wagons (cars) anywhere you need without finding the magnets or having to double move the train to induce slack in the couplers. No unwanted uncoupling as the train passes over magnets at slow speed This has not occured to me often but when it has occured it can be annoying. Liabilities: You need to be able to reach all tracks and see to insert the tool into the couplers. For the Scale guys, having the 12":1' uncoupling tool apear out of the sky is very Pythonesqe.
