@Long Hair posted:I think part of the confusion here lies in different users have different experiences of what the phrase "run the uncoupler" means. On the starter set DC transformer, I have seen mine uncouple cars daintily as they slowly roll across. On AC and more power (but less voltage), I've also seen them buzz loudly like electric doorbells and uncouple much more assertively. No word in the manual either about how much performance or buzzing to expect.
These don't uncouple at all. With the train on the track and the button pressed the train stops no matter where it is located because the power quits momentarily on the entire circle. Then it will start up again in a second or so.
With no locomotive on the tracks at all you can manually slowly drag a few cars across it with the button pressed and sometimes it will uncouple, but it will cause the pilot light on the power track to go out every time you press it. Again - only with no engine on the circle at all. Manually dragging cars across it.
