i bought my 4 year old grandson a Lionel lines starter set with a automatic dump car being one of the cars in the set. I am a person who runs Postwar trains in the traditional method with a transformer.
Much to my dismay, the set did not include the necessary remote control track. So I go and buy one, and then realized that I need some type of transformer to activate the dumping mechanism. And no specific instructions were given other than stating I need to make sure I can provide 10-12 volts power, and I need to have the train be stopped on the RCS TRACK to make it pull down the plunger on the operating car.
Can someone out there provide a little comment on how to make that happen? Much appreciated.
