Proto-Coupler Installation
Owners of 2-rail models who intend to run this locomotive on a 3-rail layout may
wish to use the M.T.H. Proto-Coupler so that they may enjoy the remote
uncoupling anywhere on the layout.
A Proto-Coupler and the necessary mounting hardware are included in the
packaging with each 2-rail locomotive. The wire harness in the tender is prewired
with a plug-in connection for the Proto-Coupler.
To install the Proto-Coupler on a 2-rail tender, follow the step by step instruction
listed below.
- First remove the Fine Scale European Coupler and pilot beam from the bottom
of the tender chassis.
- Install the optional pilot beam with no coupler installed
- Next remove the shell from the tender by removing the 4 body screws and then
unplug the wire harness between the shell and the chassis.
