Uncoupling your locomotive in the conventional environment

Y
our locomotive features an ElectroCoupler that is released by remote control at any
point around your layout in the TrainMaster Command Control environment.
In the conventional environment, the ElectroCoupler will not open manually or by using
a Remote-Control Track section. To couple your locomotive in the conventional environment,
you must rely on a piece of rolling stock equipped with a magnetic coupler. Simply
release the magnetic coupler and couple the rolling stock to the locomotive, even if the
ElectroCoupler is closed.
Keep in mind that you may still make use of Lionel Remote-Control Track sections
(6-65530 for O gauge; 6-12746 and 6-65149 for O-27 gauge; and 6-12020 and 6-12054
for FasTrack layouts) with the magnetic couplers on the rolling stock. Place the trigger disc
on the magnetic coupler over the central coil on the Remote-Control Track section, then
press UNCOUPLE on the track section's controller. As illustrated in Figure 6, the magnetic
field pulls the disc downward, releasing the coupler.
