to the magnetic field generated by a Lionel
Remote-Control or Uncoupling Track
section (available separately, 6-65530 for O

gauge). Place your rolling stock's coupler

Remote-Control or Uncoupling Track
section and press UNCOUPLE on the
controller. The magnetic field pulls the disc
downward, and the coupler opens.
Your locomotive's
ElectroCoupler will NOT open
manually or by using a
Remote-Control Track section.
