Hello I was wondering what I could use in place of my activation button for the MTH Fire House? Mine broke and no longer works. Thanks

Get a push button switch for a doorbell.

CONNECT IT TO AN INSULATED SECTION OF TRACK SO IT OPERATES WHEN TRAIN PASSES.

Any momentary on switch. Lionel 88 or 90 controller. Radio Shack sells stuff. The door bell is a momentary on switch.

One tap of the button activates the sequence. The sequence runs for a set amount of time.

An insulated outside rail will activate it. However, not in a way it was meant to be activated.
