Hello,I just got a Lionel Cattle car&Pen,but I don't have the button to check to see if it's working properly.
Is there some way to check this pen&car with just transformer leads?
And also,how do you adjust the cattle car and pen to make sure it's vibrating the way it should?
I see a screw in front that controls how far the arm for the cattle can go,but no adjustment for the vibration.Do you just have to crank up the voltage until the cattle start moving???And if so how much voltage is recommened for this car& accessory?
I also just got a milk car that I would like to test with the shell off.Where can I hook up the transformer leads to see if the mechanism is working properly?I have never had these accessory cars before,and do not have a working RCS track or controller,and I am eager to find out if they are working or not.I have been back into trains about 10 years,and have done alot of work on Prewar and Postwar Engines,but I have never fixed a cattle car or milk car yet.Any help would be greatly appriceiated.Happy Railroading,Kenny
