Using your locomotive's ElectroCouplers in the
non-Command environment
T
o uncouple rolling stock from your locomotive's ElectroCouplers 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 ElectroCouplers. 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 14 to learn how to release the couplers in Command Control.
