H warunk,

Welcome to trainz, I hope you have a pleasant experience with trainz and not ignore your family too much while playing trainz, it's very addictive.

To stop your consist from running away when uncoupling on a slope press "A" on the keyboard before uncoupling. This sets the brakes on the consist but if you press "A" again it will release the brakes.

Cheers,

One more little thing about this: You uncouple cars normally in a yard. It pays (in real life and in our World) to have the tracks level. For this, is easy to use the "apply spline height" tool to level of the tracks in a yard or station. If you do, the cars will not move from where you leave them, althoug is a good idea to set the brake.. in case the wind blows very hard...!:hehe:
