Using your locomotive’s ElectroCoupler in the
non-Command environment
T
o uncouple rolling stock from your
locomotive’s ElectroCoupler in the non-
Command environment, you must rely on a
piece of rolling stock equipped with Lionel
magnetic couplers coupled directly to your
locomotive’s ElectroCoupler. 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; 6-12020 for
FastTrack 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.
See page 13 to learn how to release the
coupler in Command Control.
Your locomotive’s ElectroCoupler
will NOT open manually or by
using a Remote-Control Track
section.
