line chief Remote/ coupler tiedown | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

A friend's Grandson has a LionChief with remote . The coupler on the on the tender will not stay closed thus all cars are not being pulled.

I told him to tie a piece of wire or a rubber band around the Coupler to keep the tab closed. Is this advice (?) OK or should something else be done as this is remote controlled? He was advised that the coupler would not work while tied down, do not know if there will be an effect on the remote, other than not working. The Grandchild (10/11/ ) told me he did not use the remote to remove cars.

Comments requested/appreciated

That'll do 'er for now. Might want to have the coupler checked later on, though.

Which model is it? Only the Lionchief Plus has electrocouplers.

And LionChief Plus couplers don’t have tabs. They’re Electrocouplers.

Maybe the child is pressing the bell or horn to many times ! That will open the couplers ! That is if the engine is Lion Chief Plus .
