I had posted previously about the uncoupling track button stalling the loco without actually having the setup in my possession (my 5 year old grandson got the 0-8-0 LionChief RTR with bluetooth remote for Christmas). I only went by what they were telling me on the telephone.
In that thread a few forum members said the small DC wall power pack (pictured above) worked and others said it didn't have enough power to operate the uncoupler track.
They finally came to our house and brought it along with my grandson. I am testing it.
1. Press the uncoupler and the loco stalls anywhere on the track (it doesn't have to be over the uncoupler track).
2. Following Steve H's suggestion I removed the engine and tender and put a few cars on the circular layout. It barely uncouples the cars and every time you press the uncouple button the pilot light on the power track goes out then comes back on. Remove all cars. Press button. Pilot light goes out.
Is this just a lack of adequate power?
Thanks,
John
