UCS uncoupler remote track
Posted by Anonymous on Monday, March 14, 2005 3:28 PM
I have an O gauge UCS remote track with no wiring. Can anyone tell me where wires from the controller go to the four terminals on the track section. the controller has an uncouple and an unloader button. The buttons share a copper contact. I will call that contact #1. The top contact (as viewed upside down with the cover removed) would be #4.
The uncouple button shorts #1 to #2 to #3
The unload button shorts #1 to #2 and #3 to #4
There is a small rubber bumper to prevent #2 from touching #3 on the unload contact stack
Can anyone help? The track is a 1950s vintage.

Thanks one and all.
I put my 2353 diesel set away about 20 yrs ago. (I'm 53 now) which my dad gave me when I was about 6 yrs old.
Just brought it out last week and have been bitten real bad by the "bug"
Since I am self employed as an engineer (the kind with the slide rule, not the throttle, unfortunately) I have been spending WAY too much time on the computer reliving my past.
What a trip. I've been out of model railroading for 30 years.
I have the S.F diesel set F3 drive and dummy with horn, war bonnet, with livestock, boxcar B&O automobile, extension searchlight, Lehigh Hopper, barrel unloader, Cement Car, Gold Medal boxcar, Truck Car, Pipe Car, and a porthole caboose.
I've added a GM&O GP switch diesel, a 1064 loco with tender, a red caboose, (because mine is brown and I'm getting romantic in my old age) and a set of 022 switches.
I recently finished my basement and got a new grandson. So I bought all new track and mounted it on the wall to circle around behind my bar and through the finished part of the basement, an oval about 80 ft total lentgh. I'm adding another section through the oval which explains switches.
I'm going to serve drinks with the thing.
