GMLTC had a design for uncoupling, and there have been others posting here speaking of this. Not much hard info is available on the GMLTC design in terms of pictures, but it uses horizontal prying, as you suggest. The idea of a switch engine with an (...) (25 years ago, 6-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains)

I'm in the process of separating a lot I won on eBay that includes set 8223 (Hydrofoil 7). As this lot had no instruction booklets and this set isn't on Brickshelf all I can do is ask if anyone can send me scans of them. Please reply via email if (...) (25 years ago, 6-Jan-00, to lugnet.general)

Etoys has a listing under their Adventurers section for a "Research Glider." The price was $7.99, but it's out of stock, and an "image is coming soon."
