Lionel NW2 - Using Your Locomotive Sets Magnetic Couplers

Locomotive set operations
B
oth NW2 switcher locomotives are equipped with operating magnetic knuckle couplers, a
revolutionary design first introduced by Lionel in 1945.
Lionel magnetic couplers react to the magnetic field generated by a Lionel Remote-Control
Track section (available separately, 6-65149 or 6-12746 for O-27 gauge; 6-65530 for O gauge;
or 6-12020 and 6-12054 for FasTrack layouts).
Place your locomotive’s coupler trigger disc over the central coil of a Remote-Control
Track section and press UNCOUPLE on the controller. The magnetic field pulls the disc
downward, and the knuckle opens.
