Using your locomotive set’s ElectroCouplers in the
non-Command environment
T
o uncouple rolling stock from your
locomotive set’s ElectroCouplers in the
non-Command environment, you must rely
on a piece of rolling stock equipped with
Lionel magnetic couplers coupled directly to
your locomotive set’s ElectroCouplers. The
magnetic coupler on the rolling stock will
then react to the magnetic field generated
by a Lionel Remote-Control Track section
(available separately, 6-65530 for O gauge;
6-65149 or 6-12746 for O-27 gauge; and
6-12020 for FasTrack layouts). Place your
rolling stock’s coupler “trigger disc” over
the central coil of a Remote-Control Track
section and press UNCOUPLE on the
controller. As illustrated in Figure 2, the
magnetic field pulls the disc downward,
and the coupler opens.
Your locomotive set’s
ElectroCouplers will NOT open
manually or by using a
Remote-Control Track section.
