Lionel #154 light signal | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Hello everyone,

has anyone been able to hook a 154 to fastrack and make it work as intended? I know I can get the power to it but what about The third contact?

Thanks Chris

The original 154 has 3 contacts and uses a special 154C that is only compatible with tubular track.

No. 154-20 dated 2-50 Instructions

As you see, there are 3 contacts.

1 - Common Hot

2 - Lamp Ground

3 - Other Lamp Ground

If you search the forum, you can find custom flasher units that can work with a simple Fastrack Insulated Rail activation section.

Note, rrswedw's link does not account for the 3 conductor alternating flashing of the original 154 and must be coupled with a flashing circuit.
