Model Railroad Hobbyist | October 2016 | #80 MRH Q-A-T column compiled by Joe Brugger Questions and Answers A place for uncoupling skewers Q. I use bamboo skewers for uncoupling on my On30 layout because they’re extremely inexpensive and work very well. Just insert the sharp end between the knuckles and rotate. But I have never found a good way to store them. People stick them into the car card boxes, but the boxes are short and the skewers often fall out. I’d love a tube, about the size of a cigar tube, with wings to the back end that would allow them to be mounted vertically onto the fascia. Does anyone know of a commercial product I might be able to use? —Lee A. Something compact that fits close to the fascia will solve your problem. Here are some suggestions: 1. Think pen holder. Pretty easy to make something yourself using PVC pipe too. —Randy Seiler XX MRH QUESTIONS, ANSWERS, AND TIPS • INDEX • TABLE OF CONTENTS
