Hello   the Kline  shanty uses the ground to activate operation  originally  they had a isolated track  to make it work. once on the isolated tack it grounds the wire  to make the gateman come out once it passes it opens the ground and he goes back in the building..

I read  the 153IR it stated  on page 6  power is off until triggered by the train   Ground terminal on the accessory connected to the ACC GND terminal

When I connect the brown wire to it .. It will not stop  runs continuous

 has anyone done this before and can tell me how to wire up the  Kline shanty to the 153IR

thanks daniel

I found out the hard way, that there are at least a couple of different revisions of the 153ir out there, and they are wired differently.  You will have to match the instructions with your version, unfortunately they both have the same part number 6-14111.

the 2 manuals are:

newer: https://www.lionelsupport.com/...0153IRcontroller.pdf page 9
