Position it in sidings or yard areas where wagon separation is required. Operate locomotives slowly over the section to uncouple rolling stock as needed, following your system’s uncoupling mechanism (magnetic or mechanical).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46786426634396,"sku":"ATL849","price":6.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0585\/9095\/3628\/files\/ATL849.webp?v=1778603476","url":"https:\/\/www.hobbyco.com.au\/products\/ho-dead-end-uncoupler","provider":"Hobbyco","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
