GEM Uncoupler ramps

GEM Uncoupler ramps

This is why I love a proper, physical model shop. One full of "stuff". Looking for some uncoupling ramps for a project, I find a packet of GEM ones that must date back into the 1960s. I've never seen them before, and happily handed over a few pence to purchase something no-one else will want. 

Inside the brown envelope are a dozen pieces of thin, clear plastic (possibly acetate) 86 by 12mm. There aren't any instructions, but I guess each is fitted in place with track pins, allowing for a bend that will lift the Tri-ang and similar couplings. 

All for 2/6 including purchase tax.
