I need info on how to connect from transformer to track. Ilost paperwork and wires.

There's a short circuit at a switch or crossover. Did you put insulators on the track connectors to eliminate this condition? If the wires don't get hot without the engine on the tracks then look into a bad motor in the engine.

Question is unclear. But if you want both switches to throw at the same time all you need to do is connect the 3 terminals on one switch with the matching terminals on the other switch. Run a wire from left to left, center to center and right to right. If the switches do not switch into the same track just reverse the right and left wires on one of the switches.

There are 5 terminals on the bridge number them from outside to inside 1,2,3,4,5
Terminal 1 gets connected to the outside rails on a V,Z,VW,orZW transformer terminal U. The control button a #96 push button gets connected between terminals 2 and 3. Terminal 3 also gets a wire from A or B on a V or Z or Bor C on a VW/ZW. Terminal 4 gets connected to the transformer terminal D. Terminal 5 gets a wire to the lockon on the black bridge frame. The bridge needs 3 sections of track on each end seperated from the rest of the track as a stopping section remove the center rail pin on this section, This forms the stopping sections at each end of the bridge.

No power to the transformer or to the track?
If not to the track, make sure you have the correct wire connections made from the transformer to track.
If no power to the transformer from the wall plug,
sounds like the cord needs replacement.

It depends upon how much you run your trains. Run your finger or clean cloth on the rail. If you see a dark mark your tracks need cleaning. You can also run another set of wires from the transformer to the spot on the track furthest from the transformer. You can even run a third or fourth equally spaced apart if you have large loops and long and heavy trains.

Just got my bascule bridge working.
1) cener rail should be ground (U terminal on my "V" transformer) and insulated from rest of tracks.
2) Power should rails should not be insulated from the rest of the tracks.
3) on my bridge there are 5 terminals (1 farthest from the track, 5 closest to the track.
4)Power to terminal 1 (on my "V" transformer that is from A terminal)
5)Terminal 2 and three are the two ends of a "Push Button Normally Off" switch (this switch send power across the motor and to ground at terminal 3.
6)Terminal 3 has two connections. The aforementioned switch and a ground connection at the transformer ( terminal "U" on my V type transformer.
7)Terminal 4 is a ground connection from the transformer ( "U" on my "V" transformer).
8)Terminal 5 runs a jumper wire to the center Rail on the clip connection at the free end of the bridge.

Good Luck

There is a short in the control wiring that needs to be tracked down. Ohm the wiring to the low voltage controls, ie thermostat wiring and thermostat. Try disconnecting the thermostat wires to rule out the problem in the control wiring to the thermostat or thermostat itself, then install a new transformer without connecting the thermostat wiring, jump the red and green wire at the unit low voltage connections to test blower, and then add yellow for compressor, should be no more than 3 amps on control side wiring with A/C on.
If the problems still exists without the thermostat wiring connected then there is a problem in the wiring in the unit or control board itself.

There is bad contact in the track connections. You can sand the track connection sites. Another method is to run another power wire to the other end of the track where the train slows down. Even better is 3 or 4 evenly spaced power wires from the transformer to the track.

Sounds like the transformer in your track light. In the box where the green light is, the voltage is converted by a small transformer from 120v to 12v for the halogen lights. With the breaker off, try jumping out the dimmer going to the track light (disconnect the dimmer and connect the two loose wires from box together). With the breaker back on, if you have 120v power on the wires (black/white) going into the track light transformer (measured at the track light), and the green light won't come on, I'd say it's the track light transformer. You may have to replace the whole track if you can't get the transformer as a part.

make certain that you connect the right wires into the transformer. there should be a wiring diagram on the transformer, this should tell you where the wires need to go. more info will help.
