Super GLue is only used for when you want a permanently connected Consist.
All other times use spit balls or well chewed Wrigglys Spearmint

Dear Sir Flash,

Ours was only an honest offer of cooperation to get a fair share from the market you've been dominating for so long.

I'm deeply saddened that Cave Comp. is now sailing new and unknown waters like supplying double-sided black tapes that would redeem hand uncouplers useless for many faithfull users.

While I wish you and all at Cave Comp. best of luck, I hereby announce that Honest C & Co. will be using their own Velcrocoupler patent for production.

"Go Velcrocoupler - fast & reliable, and you will never need uncouplers anymore!"

Product details and availability will be announced at a later date.

Regards,

Cem - CEO Honest C & Co.

CEO Honest C & Co

Dear Cem. We have been advised by Velcro that their name has been patented and therefore can not be used. Velcro have been in touch with our legal department in Australia where our man with the pink pinny has advised that we are not invloved and their legal dept will be taking the matter up with the Honest Co. direct.

Since offering our moon dust and special ointment we have been flooded with orders and many of our customers have ordered in bulk for use with their loco collection.

The Cave Company has agents now in all parts but we note we have nothing in Turkey. Should you wish your firm to be part of the group please let us know as we must avoid the Per Trading Company from starting again with their fake items (made of wood... yuk)
By joining with us we may be able to agree terms with Velcro (our man in Ireland is fantastic at that ... something to do with an offer they cant refuse .. and sleeping with the fishes etc.)

Yours as ever

Sir Flash The Cave Company

Very Dear Sir Flash,

We believe your offer will prove to be the start of a mutually benefiting cooperation.

Please be adviced that Honest C & Co. operates mainly from far-off sites where no legal matter really does matter; so consider Velcro business done! Smile

As per our cooperation in hand uncoupler business in Turkey; we would be more than happy to set up the operations for "The Cave & Honest C East of EU-West of Middle East Co.".

We already have contacted TCDD and secured an order - I believe you'll be able to deliver full size (1/1) hand uncouplers, if not we can handle that too under your license.

Sincerely Yours,

Cem, CEO Honest C & Co., WP TC&HC EoE-WoME Co.

PS. Regarding Per Trading Co.; our contacts in Nordic are ready to place a fake order.

Please note, the original marklin-users.net uncoupler, due to excellent design, can also be used to uncouple the new Velcro couplers.

Just light one end with a match or cigarette lighter, and hold it under the coupler as you would normally also do - but don't lift it as with normal couplers.

I believe the Flash Dave Co is the official distributor of the accessories needed to customize the original marklin-users.net uncoupler for this type of application.

Dear Cem. We at the cave are indeed honoured that you wish to join with us and it is to our mutual benefit that we can distribute each others products. Our 1/1 uncouplers are on their way complete with a hand for demonstration purposes.
We have advertised the velcrocoupler in our areas and placed an order with your sales dept.
We were a bit concerened with the title of your firm having the word 'Honest' but as legal matters are not of a concren where you are selling then all should be well .

We look forward to a profitable future.

Dear Sir Flash,

This is wonderful news. We'll forward the total, once we receive the uncouplers and the HAND, in waterproof casks to The Cave.

Since our company have been named by our grand grand parents and operating since under the same name, a change thereof might raise suspicion in the market which of course we should avoid at all costs. However after delivery of the goods and receipt of the funds from TCDD, we might consider to make a slight adjustment.

Let me take this opportunity to wish our new venture all the luck and many many barrels of single malt fire-water for all of us.

Sincerely Yours,

Cem, still CEO Honest C & Co.

Single malt firewater can also be used, although not recommended at all - and a due warning is issued, to speed up the Velcro uncoupling with the official marklin-users.net uncoupler by soaking the uncoupler or Velcro coupler in it.

Always rigorously follow the safety instructions from manufacturers claiming to be marklin-users.net hand uncoupler compatible.

The recommended use of the single malt is however always to pour it into the owner of the hand doing the uncoupling, even if it may cause some precision issues. Due warning issued also here...

The marklin-users.net uncoupler was originally designed for Märklin brand couplers only, but due to excellent engineering it can be used as a useful tool also in other uncoupling situations.

Indeed Juhan anything that needs uncoupling then we are the people.

With Honest C & Co and The Cave Company now selling each others goods I expect that an offer for a certain model rail firm could be made in due course.

Meanwhile single malts are available at the cave (barrels have been despatched to Turkey, OZ,NZ,Norway,USA and Ireland) all are welome to celebrate this great occasion. We were going to make the announcement on 23rd September but understand that the CS2 will be available on that day from 595 euros and we do not wish to upstage them.

Head Laywer,
Suem, DUnem and Dudem,

I have been perusing the above documents as to the implications of the Cave Company's legal liabilities per se on the lighted uncouplers.
We could not give a toss as to the OCC. Health and safety implications as long as you print the warning in [size=1]the fine print.

The insurance Council has heard of this new innovation and has issued a scale of penalities if any insurance claims are made re damaged rolling stock. This will take the form of a Claim excess.

On the other hand the Model train industry have offered a very attractive commission scale on the sale of replacement rolling stock due to damage caused by the new type of uncoupler device for double sided couplers and (Whisper on) Velcro couplers. (Whisper off).

The commissions earned will enable the Cave Company to pay a very attractive dividend in the coming years, Less our very substantial fee of course.

I must order a new Roller and a Lot of M and H rolling stock before there is a severe shortage.

Dear Baron Nev of Oz,

It has been brought to my attention that you have some questions about our -now improved- Velcrocoupler. I hereby would be honoured to address all your concerns.

1) We do not deal with inferior products such as double-sided tapes. Our research division, subatomic particle dept. have now strong proof (details available on request) that double-sided tapes are not suitable for coupling of railway cars.

2) Our right hand Velcrocoupler is also suitable for left hand operation given that it is turned around 180 dergrees.

3) Velcrocouplers are tested with all sorts of mrr operating systems and perform flawlessly with all. Digital and MFX use of Velcrocouplers require "Honest C & Co. encoder device" available from Honest C & Co. and their partners worldwide.

4) We advice, and encourage, use of Velcrocoupler in 2 rail systems where realism is at utmost importance. Velcrocouplers look just like real couplers without the operational complexities of them - please note that term "real coupler" addresses real mrr couplers.

5) Our media division, moving picture dept. already contacted actor, director, producer, janitor, bestman, bestwoman, 10-man-camera-crew-in-one Mel Gibson for a TV commercial. We expect the film to be ready as soon as Mr. Gibson comes back from Mezopotamia where he is shooting his last feature, Noah and The Big Flood, in original language.

And finally thank you for your warm welcome, Honest C & Co. always values it's international counterparts and partners.

Yours Truly,

Cem, CEO Honest C & Co. now a part of The Cave syndicate worldwide

Dear Cem. I note our legal dept ..Baron Nev of the pink pinny has been in touch and that all is well.

Both the sticky tape and Velcro products are now selling very well .. in fact most customers are buying both at the same time. The Baron Nev has of course to make sure that all the products are suitable for the market and this has been confirmed by somebody ... who we are not sure but it is of no matter.

Should by chance any warranty claims arise from the velcro product please advise you customers to take the part to our repair centre in the peat bog south of Glen Doom. Must be delivered by hand and a replacement will be available in 6 months time ... to be collected. Our service in this respect matches that of the model rail firms.

As Baron Nev of the pink pinny says a dividend to all our partners should be payable next year and meanwhile enjoy the barrel of single malt.

As ever

Sir Flash
Take care I like Marklin and will defend the worlds greatest model rail manufacturer.

Dear Baron & Baron,

Our production division, small orders dept. have worked really hard to convince our factory in China to produce in such small quantity but they have managed to secure a run for the batch.

I reckon you will receive the products soon enough. We hope to hear the good news about the market performance our Velcrocoupler on your side of the world.

In the meantime, congratulations on your new title, I believe you can manage a 10 hour flight over NZ each year. Or maybe we can offer you 10 flights of 1 hour each over NZ with our corporate jet.

Best Regards,

In fact Mr Brandt is a very knowledgeable and great guy, in particular regarding German train operations, and was one of the posters at the old MML you always read with the outmost interest and joy when he eg explained what a D-zug was like and such in detail...

I suppose the NZ gentleman could have been Mr Greg Procter, maybe?

These are both great guys even if they are not active here...


Yes, that's him Juhan.
I had to feel for him, one leg and a flight of steel steps to climb, but he made it like a trooper.

Martin gave us a fantastic lecture / Power Point Presentation on Modular railways in the Stuttgart area.

It was a great night tho.

Please note, this topic is about hand uncouplers and their application.

New exotic coupler concepts must be seen in the light of hand uncoupler compatibility, since uncoupling will be necessary sooner or later regardless of the coupler concept...

Dear Webmaster. The Cave Company and our Associates always provide what the punters want and uncoupling is not a problem with sticky tape or the velcro model. All you have to do is read the instructions which come with these items .. basically they just say pull.
We thank you however for your concern and trust you will be placing an order in due course.

<br /> All you have to do is read the instructions which come with these items .. basically they just say pull.

Which concerns me a little - I certainly hope that the offical marklin-users.net hand uncoupler is documented as a necessary tool for uncoupling in the instructions, even for these newer type of couplings.

Even if it not really used for some of the "pull" coupler variants, it must be mentioned as an indispensable tool for uncoupling, also in the instructions of these couplers.

<br />Maybe a magnet is a good idea?

Yes, but how are we to secure the magnets to our locos? Velcro maybe?
Kind regards,

Hi Svein No idea what that is but I expect it is not important.

Juhan . With all our products we enclose the full documentation for the official uncoupler and advise our customers to use it at all times. For some reason they also appear to like all the other products which of course keeps the firm and associates supplied with the essentials of life : Whisky, beer, Pies and Marklin models.

Bloody Hell Guys:

Come back to the site after three days and start reading the topic.
Urgent messages sent to Lord & Lady Macca's R&D Department for:

Preparation Cem
Preparation Flash
Preparation Webby
Preparation Pink Pinny
AND Then
Preparation Svein!

Know I know the Lord & Lady have been rather busy of late but I didn't expect to come back to see Scotland invading Turkey.

Flash - don't do it. We (mainly ANZACS as the Poms were having tea) tried it in '15 and got our asses whipped!

BUT

Having re-read the posts I'm pleased to see that we are all a big happy family again after just a small misunderstanding.
R&D Department has been stood down....

BTW:
Nev - For your knighthood I'm afrad that you misread Auntie Helen.
It wasn't a knighthood she was referring to your Barren Head [:X]

Oh and I note that Velcro (Right or Left) will NOT work with DCC [:p]

That I believe is a spare bit of Junk plastic off a Parts tree that Marklin occasionally put into Starter Set Boxes. I have never seen one myself. I use the Official Users-net model.
NOt wearing the Pink Pinny, which is hard to see and now I have a white Pinny which also is hard to see against MY pure white Skin Still have 2 new shiny tin Hips that is badly in Need of Repair matching rusting tin shoulders
