Hello All - I had some great forum help before Christmas to solve a Lionel crossing issue so I'm trying again.  What's the correct way to wire the subject K-Line signal bridge to Fastrack? I want to operate both signals (in same direction) over two tracks.  I've searched with no luck for a straightforward answer. I've built two block sections and have accessory operating track(s). Do I need to purchase a relay like that from Azatrax (or is it built into the signal itself)? A simple guide or wiring diagram is all I'm seeking. Any help, please. Thanks!

Try to power the bridge LEDs without the track. Connect Clip 2 to the U terminal of your transformer. Connect Clip 3 to the A terminal of your transformer. Then the Green LED should light. Then tap the wire from Clip 1 to the U terminal of the transformer and the Red LED should light...Green goes off... When you remove the wire of Clip 1 from tapping it on U, Red goes off, Green goes back on.

If that works, then the bridge is functioning properly. If it doesn't work with connecting Clip 1 to the insulated rail,  the Clip 2 and Clip 3 as connected as stated above to the transformer, and the non insulated rail connected to U on the transformer, and passing a car over the insulated section of track, then there is something wrong with your insulated rail setup.
