Installing Couplers
Your locomotive comes equipped with remotely controllable scale proportioned
operating Proto-Couplers that can be triggered from any DCC controller or the
M.T.H. DCS Digital Command System. Both the front and rear couplers can be
individually triggered. These couplers will not work in conventional operation
with magnetic arms. We have included a set of magnetic arms that can be
installed into the coupler head if desired for aesthetic purposes.
For those who prefer standard mechanical couplers, we've also included a pair
inside your locomotive's box. Follow the steps below to remove the remote
control couplers and install the mechanical couplers in their place.
