Am using them to align a lift out bridge on my railway. Saw the idea on Pinterest.

I'm sure there used to be uncoupling rails where you pressed a lever and the gubbins came up out of the track and lifted the coach or whatever, but this doesn't move. As an uncoupler it's very difficult to stop exactly over the centre, and even if you do it often only lifts one catch so the wagon stays attached, so it works intermittently but rather randomly and mostly not at all. As a re-railer it's even worse - it won't touch bad derailment, and for slight derails it re-rails, and then promptly derails again! In fact some of the locos actually get stuck on it, so I' quite honestly appalled that a company like Hornby can design something so badly. If you can get it to work at all you're already a better man than I am!

Using this as a re-railer on my layout and have it placed after a sprung set of points. This just ensures that any wheel that does derail, goes back on again before traversing the points at the other end of the storage loops. Works fairly well. Disabled the uncoupling ramp with superglue.

Handy little device, makes loading vehicles onto the tracks, that much quicker. Also you can uncouple without lifting them first.
