Mike Fox:
Miller Coupler 1/4 scale

John Scott:
Not sure how one would uncouple those.

Ed Lecuyer:
The uncoupling mechanism is not yet incorporated into the model. Basically there is a cut lever that pulls the hook to the side.

Graham Buxton:
I understand that uncoupling requires "slack" to be present (tension removed from the coupler by pushing the cars together) to allow the crewman to operate the cut lever or chain.

John Scott:
Good extra information, thank you.
