Using Your Locomotive Set's Electrocouplers In The Non-Command Environment - Lionel 2343c F-3 A-A Owner's Manual

Using your locomotive set's ElectroCouplers in the
non-Command environment
T he front of each F-3 A-unit features an ElectroCoupler. To uncouple rolling stock from
your locomotive set'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 set'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; and 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 2, the magnetic field pulls the disc
downward, and the coupler opens.
Your locomotive set's ElectroCouplers will NOT open manually or by using a
Note!
