Joe,

Which activation track set do you have? No. 6-12029, which has a pigtail used to make connections, or 6-81317, which is plug-and-play and so has a connector instead of a pigtail?

12029– one set in each 4x8 oval layout

Good. That makes it easier.

One place to start is by following this link:

You may also benefit from a simple drawing. I'll get started, or maybe someone else can chime in while I'm drawing?

Joe,

Here's are two approaches, from the user's manual that came with your accessory activation set:

1.) Option 1 -- Powered from the track:

2.) Option 2 -- Powered from fixed voltage, i.e. a separate transformer:

Let us know how it turns out.
