       LC 0-4-0 A5 couplers problem
       By: NWRastrotrain Date: April 29, 2020, 1:05 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       I recently got the LionChief Plus A5 switcher. The engine works
       perfectly but the rear coupler won't open when I use the
       included remote. The sound for it will play but the coupler
       doesn't do anything, not even buzz like it's trying to open. has
       anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it?

       Welcome to the forum!
       If your loco is brand new, return it for warranty repair or
       exchange.
       If it is out of warranty, open it up and check to see the plug
       from the rear coupler is fully seated in the socket on the
       circuit board. If it is, see if you can unplug it, and plug in
       the front coupler into that socket. Now check to see if that
       coupler opens when the rear coupler button is pressed on the
       remote. If it does, the rear coupler is faulty. If it does not,
       the remote is faulty.
