Automatic Uncoupler
For years many Garden Railroaders
have been looking for an automatic
Uncoupler that can replace the standard
coupler with ease. This Automatic
Uncoupler has much in common with
the LGB DUO Uncoupler Locomotive
from 1993 and a major advantage: size!
This Uncoupler fits easily in many
G-Scale locomotives from LGB
and other manufacturers.
The Automatic Uncoupler is manufactured
of 100% black fibreglass plastics in
proven injection molding which offers
maximum stability and durability.
To operate the Uncoupler requires
connecting to a standard decoder‘s
Decoder+, Decoder- and a function
output (open collector) by using the
attached cable (30cm). A power supply
of 16-22V with a maximum of 200mA
direct rectifier voltage is required.

With a total length of 73,5mm the Uncoupler can be easily installed in many locomotives
from LGB and other manufacturers. Minor modifications may be required
in order to use in some locomotives (see table).
The Uncoupler consists of a drive
unit and a mechanical unit. A miniature
motor and the requisite
micro electronic circuitry are fully
integrated in the drive unit. This
uncoupler technology is convincing!
Using the small motor, the coupling
hook is lowered slowly. Simultaneously
the lower part of the bracket
is pushed towards the front.
Thus, even a symmetric coupling can
be easily uncoupled with just one unit.
Massoth of course believes in sophisticated
quality made in Germany.
Not only the construction, but
also tooling and mold making and
production of this superiour product
are 100% Made in Germany.

standard G-Scale coupler fitting
comparing the size of the Uncouplers
The Automatic Uncoupler is easily fixed onto a locomotive with a single screw
using a standard coupler fitting such as commonly found on LGB rolling stock.
The connection cable (30cm length) is layed into the interiour of the locomotive
and connected to the decoder.
This comparison shows the new MASSOTH Automatic Uncoupler compared to the
LGB Uncoupler known from the DUO Locomotive from 1993. The size of the new
Uncoupler has been reduced by a multiple. The drive unit itself has been reduced
by approximately 90%.
