The prototype of the Fleischmann mast shows the train driver whether they should push or stop pushing. Clever to combine that with an uncoupler track, but there are no such uncoupler tracks with the prototype.

Kind of an "Up close and personal" action to couple/uncouple the wagons... p. s. ...probably should have quoted Mike C, sorry to repeat...

Joined: 04/02/2011(UTC) Posts: 3,136 Location: Paris, France		Hi No, there was never a prototype of this decoupling mast because, as already said decoupling was always manually made in Europe (and elsewhere I think) It is a tradition with Märklin since at least 1945, with a semaphore and then a light mast to go with M Track. In these early days (1952-1962) Märklin released a "humping signal" ("Abdrücksignal" in German) referenced 7043. Here it is on my layout, in company with a home-made optical barrier signal to trigger the automatic uncoupling And here is the automatic uncoupling in operation Cheers Jean
