Photograph 2 To couple, the wagons are pushed together, the loop passing over the hook. |

Photograph 3 The loop strikes the dropper on the second wagon. This causes the hook to lift. The hook stays up as it is held by the magnet being attracted to a steel pin under the wagon. |
|||||||||
Photograph 4 The hook is captured by the loop when the wagons are drawn apart. They stay coupled as long as they are in tension. To uncouple, push wagons together UNTIL hook drops, then pull apart. |
