COUPLER FOR TOY AND MODEL RAILWAY CARS ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A coupler for toy and model railway cars includes a coupler knuckle adapted to engage a complimentary knuckle on an adjacent car. The knuckle is pivotally mounted on a support means and is adapted to pivot between a lower position sub- stantially parallel to a trackway and an upper position. A first permanent magnet is mounted on an end of the knuckle with a pole of the magnet facing outwardly. A second magnet is mounted on the car structure with an unlike pole facing towards the out- wardly facing pole of the first magnet. The resultant magnetic attraction between the unlike poles resiliently urges the knuckle to the lower position. Cars may be uncoupled by providing a pole of an uncoupling magnet on the trackway to attract the outwardly facing pole and repel the other pole of the first magnet to create an attraction/repulsion force couple to torque the knuckle to the upper position and thereby uncouple adjacent cars.
