Great product. Makes uncoupling easy.
Great product. Makes tricky manual uncoupling easy. Even my 3 year old can do it with ease. Would definitely buy again.

Buy this instead of the R617 uncoupling ramp
Although more expensive by £4-£6, this is far superior to the cheaper alternative from Hornby, the R617 uncoupling ramp, which is flimsy, difficult to fit and in 50% of cases breaks as you try and insert it into track. The build and performance of this more expensive alternative is far superior as it is, of course, a length of track in itself. Go for this as first choice, the other cheaper option will waste more of your time, money and patience.

Needs a flat surface to work but adds a great amount of playability.
Couldnt get this to work until I had my layout on a flat board. Once working its great as I can now couple and uncouple carriages and wagons without touching anything. Great for picking up and putting things away in sidings.

Ideal tool to keep hands away
This is an ideal tool for a young boy to improve his Hornby experience just that little bit more.
