## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality product
*by S***E on 30 June 2021*

Good quality product from Hornby works well

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product. Makes uncoupling easy.
*by D***R on 4 January 2019*

Great product. Makes tricky manual uncoupling easy. Even my 3 year old can do it with ease. Would definitely buy again.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Buy this instead of the R617 uncoupling ramp
*by R***R on 25 July 2024*

Although more expensive by £4-£6, this is far superior to the cheaper alternative from Hornby, the R617 uncoupling ramp, which is flimsy, difficult to fit and in 50% of cases breaks as you try and insert it into track. The build and performance of this more expensive alternative is far superior as it is, of course, a length of track in itself. Go for this as first choice, the other cheaper option will waste more of your time, money and patience.
