I have the MTH 20-2307-1 PS 2 F3 set, ABA. I sometimes like to run just the AB only. Because the B unit has dummy couplers, one had to your the "BIG HAND HOOK" to uncouple a set of cars.
Has anyone changed out the dummy on an F3 B unit with an electromagnetic coupler? If so, how did you do it, wire it? I know that Electric Railroad (Lionel) makes an accessory board that will activate couplers, but don't know if that would work.
I know that if I do make a conversion, that if and when I run the second A unit, and I activate a rear coupler, that both the B unit and the rear facing A unit will activate, I think. However, there is a way to get around this. Simply run the engine in reverse order and this will not be an issue.
Thanks
