Electromagnetic Coil Couplers

If your locomotive is equipped with electromagnetic coil couplers, you will want to connect them

to the LCRU for remote control operation. It is very easy to determine whether or not your

locomotive is equipped with this type of coupler. Look for a slide shoe on the underside of the

locomotive truck assembly. On most Postwar locomotives, this shoe is found in the center of the

front truck, in between the power pickup rollers. Note that the LCRU is not capable of

operating magnetic style couplers found on later Postwar equipment.

Electro-coupler kits are available from Digital Dynamics, Lionel and several parts dealers.

1. Disassemble the front truck pilot and coupler arm assembly.

2. Disconnect the wire leading from the pickup shoe to the front coupler.

ends.

3. Thread one of the unused hook-up wires through the chassis and truck assembly in the same

manner as the wire you just removed.

the correct connection.

4. Be absolutely certain that the wire is long enough to accommodate movement of the truck and

coupler before trimming it to length.

5. Repeat this procedure for the rear coupler using the appropriate wire.

Installing the Antenna

Antenna installation and location is critical to making sure your engine functions reliably

under the TrainMaster system. The antenna must be located where it can best pick up the signal

radiating from the track. As a general rule, antenna location is fairly forgiving in plastic

bodied engines, as the plastic does not interfere with the radio signal. However, die-cast

locomotives will limit or completely block the signal from the antenna.

a wire soldered to it.

2. Place the locomotive body upside down on a soft surface such as an old towel, or a piece of

carpet.

3. Remove the adhesive backing from the copper strip.

4. Starting at the rear of the loco body, place the copper strip antenna lengthwise along the

inside center of the roof.

5. Extend the antenna wire for as long a distance as possible inside the locomotive, then loop

it back to where it will connect to the LCRU circuit board.

6. Under no circumstances should the antenna be attached to a metal chassis.
