Hi all,'
I just bought one of these in an eBay auction, and do not have a wiring diagram.
I am sure I can play with it and figure it out, but does anyone have one they would be willing to post or email to me.
Thank you in advance,
Aflyer

NICE ACCESSORY enjoy it
It's pretty simple to set up. Wire one wire to each of the two accessory posts on the accessory, one wire goes to the transformer hot, the other to the common. You also wire a single pole, single throw (on/off) switch to one of the wires between the accessory & transformer. The accessory originally came with one (Lionel 364C if I recall correctly). You can also buy an aftermarket SPST switch at Radio Shack or some other electronics or hardware supply store.
It was also designed to be used with a Lionel # 145C contact switch that lies underneath the track so that it could be triggered by the passing of a train. You could also do this using insulated rail sections.
Thanks to all,
This is a great forum. I did get the original slider switch with the newsstand,
Thanks to johnstrains for the original instructions, I will print a copy for my archives.
Thanks also to John Korling, I may look into hooking this up to a track trip, this is going on a module for our S gauge layout that we set up at train shows in the Carolina's and surrounding areas. But for now it will be hooked to a push button that the kids can operate.

What is a insulated rail section and how do you make it. Thank You
And oh yes, they WILL operate it on a #90!
From childhood eperience, if you don't add the slider to give it a break, they might wear out Spot ......or the #90 .
Doggie!
(it even appeals to toddlers )
thank you very much for your information you guys are the best .
I have one and my kids love it. Mine is operated off a door bell switch. This is inexpensive, easy for kids to push, and momentary contact so it only runs while you push the button.
Just avoid the lighted door bell switches as they allow some current to pash through all the time.
