Follow the Flags
Many model railroaders use skewer-type uncoupling picks to separate cars. These tools also have a way of disappearing between operating sessions. Poster @potash_pat got tired of losing his uncoupling tools, so he come up with the above clever solution. His uncouplers double as flag poles in the switching areas around his layout for easy storage and access.
