Using your B40-8 file Electrocouplers in the non-Command environment
T
o use your B40-8’s Electrocouplers in
the non-Command environment, you
must first couple a piece of rolling stock
equipped with Lionel magnetic couplers
directly to your B40-8’s. The magnetic cou-
pler on the rolling stock will then react to
the magnetic field generated by a Lionel
remote-control track section (available
separately). Place your rolling stock’s cou-
pler “trigger disc” over the central coil of a
remote-control track section and press
uncouple on the controller. The magnetic
field pulls the disc downward, and the cou-
pler opens.

open manually or by using a
remote-control track section.
