Thanks for the photo Overmod!
Un-dee actually looks more useful than the rix products upcoupler which I have. Turns out I never ended up using it much since uncoupling cars by hand is pretty easy.
I would like an uncoupling device that works on passenger cars with diaphragms. That's the one time I would actually find the need to use an uncoupler. Anyone who uncouples walthers passenger cars will know the frustration. It looks like the un-dee might have enough clearance to actually be useful in this case. The rix one doesnt have enough vertical clearance to fit over the diaphragms.

It looks like it would work well with Athearn Blue Box freight cars, but I can see it breaking off a lot of uncoupling levers, brake wheels, and end grabs.

Funny name -usually reserved for what we wear under our jeans. I didn't know Central Valley made uncoupling devices so I do not have their kind of undees.
This is an uncoupling device from Central Valley that nis like a Rix uncoupler but magnets are recesed untill you push a button on the top. Just found one in my track tools stash, don't remember buying it.
