I must admit I prefer the flexible plastic strip pinned into the baseboard. It works as well as the proprietary uncouplers and costs practically nothing. It's also almost invisible, so you will need that piece of scenery to find that uncoupling spot.
Hi your idea of the plastic to lift out locos is great been doing it on all my models I use the plastic sleeves from A4 files keeps them safe I also trim the polystyrene boxes to fit loco better good luck
Thanks Michael, yes, on some of my boxes, after fitting the added details like lamps, I have found the polystyrene boxes need to be modified. Hopefull, once I get the fiddle yard sorted it will be less of a concern as I can just keep the locos out ready for use :)
