The control buttons for my Lionel 350 transfer table are not within reach of my transformer which made running a locomotive on or off the table difficult to control. The solution was to add a power lead to terminal B of the controller via a switch. When the table is aligned with a siding, the switch is turned on and the transformer throttle used to control the locomotive. I actually use a SPDT switch with power going to the common terminal, then one position going to terminal D of the controller (for moving the table), and the other going to terminal B (for moving the locomotive). When the table is aligned, I turn the transformer throttle off, then move the SPDT to the other position, then run the locomotive normally with the transformer throttle. This would be a great idea even if the table controller and transformer were close together!
