Using your tender-mounted ElectroCoupler in the
non-Command environment
T
o uncouple rolling stock from your locomotive tender’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 tender’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; or 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 3, the magnetic field pulls the disc downward, and the
coupler opens.
Your locomotive tender’s ElectroCoupler will NOT open manually or by using a
Remote-Control Track section.
