The lockon is for tubular O or O-27 track. Slide the large part of the clip over the bottom flange of one outer rail....straight track works best and snap the cmaller clip onto the center rail. the two small terminals are your wire connections.

Can two tracks be powered with the Lionel Trainmaster R 100 Watt transformer?

Track 1 as you have it connected is terminals B-F. The second track would be terminals B-C. Connect post B to the outer rails Terminal 1 ? on your lockon. THis will give you 6-16 volts at the track.

Need wiring diagram for Lionel 313 Bascule Bridge

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.

What guage wire should I use to connect a train transformer to the O gauge lockons on the train track? thank, E.S

I have used 18ga lamp wire but you can use wire as thin as telephone wire. My rule of thumb is to use thicker wire (lower gauge number) the more motors on the train you are running. 20 or 22ga is generally used by most.

CANNOT GET THE UNCOUPLING TRACK SECTION TO WORK THRU TRACK POWER - WHAT IS PROPER WAY TO HOOK UP RED AND BLACK WIRES? LIONEL FASTRACK

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 new lionel train slows down on far side of the track

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.

CW 80 -Direction button doesn't work

Recent Lionel transformers are notorious for their issues. Put an old fashioned reverse switch into the circuit, an old Lionel 88 will do the wire to terminal 1 of the lockon or the wire tothe center rail needs to be cut and attached to the 2 terminals of the 88 reverse switch. Note this is ancient technology from the 30s to 50s
