If you're talking about a hump yard, then you push the cars over the "hump" track at a certain speed (I forget what it is, around 6-10 MPH I think) and the cars are automatically uncoupled. The cars then accelerate as they come off of the "hump", so try it with a short cut of cars at first.Paul

If all three conditions below are met, an uncouple will occur:1) Be in throttle notch 1 (=5mph)
2) The selected coupler (the white dot) is on the hump track.
3) Be moving TOWARDS the yardJim
