these are real neet , there a combination of a few great items to all in one device , this device consists of two automatic crossing gates , one track automatic detector and of course a automated bell , well first thing to do is to look real careful at the track detector , these wont work if there under any stress or leaning (as this is the principle of there operation) so first see if track is twisted or leaning as it enters the device ? if all is good make sure that detector is not damaged or there isn't any foreign objects down inside it (for me its always those darn pine needles off the tree) , the reason the crossbucks don't light is that gates arnt moving , the switch for them is inside the motor housing that moves the gates
Track power is not recommended for this uncoupler. Use an aux fixed supply of at least 10 to 13VAC for the supply. You have to move a jumper on the bottom of the track to do this. Then there will be four wires needed. Two for the aux power (hot and common) and the other two which go to the pushbutton switch.
Note: Same goes for Lionel FasTrack Remote switches. Run the switches from a 10 to 12 VAC aux supply. There is a jumper you remove on the bottom of the switch to connect an aux supply.
My son broke his off as well. We had just added the outer loop expansion pack and it was broken within 10 minutes. I found the replacement part on the Lionel website after much difficulty. I plan to buy a replacement to use one day when we have a more permanent track layout. I removed the flag from the other switch for safe keeping while he continues to play with it on the carpet. This is very poor design by Lionel. I think they should include a replacement part with the switch, or at least provide instructions in the manual for ordering a new part. I have wasted several hours today instead of enjoying the train with my son.
You must use insulator pins on the inside rails than come off the frog. Also make sure each track after the switch is wired with the same polarity. Keep power to center rail and ground to the same outside rail.
It sounds as though you may have two defective transformers. Lionel has reported problems with some of their smaller transformers. I would have the transformers and the engines checked by a Lionel service station or contact their customer service department for help.
