I don't have a manual for this unit. There are 4 terminals U, A, B, & C.
Is U the Base post ? Can someone please explain what A, B, & C represent, or do you have a manual I could print here at home ?
Thank you for your assistance, Bob.

Thank you very much, Bob.
"U" has the throttle, direction, & whistle/horn controls all for the center rail power, so that should be connected to Lockon Clip 1.
Adds clarity, much appreciated - Tks, Bob.
Note that the output of the 1033 is on the order of 65-70 watts maximum, PW transformers were rated on input power, not output power.
Thank you, I wasn't aware. Another question, for an accessory, using a field light as an example, if I use a lockon just for a light, the bulbs get brighter as I give more power to the engine, the reverse is also true. How would you recommend this light be connected ? Bring the wiring back directly to the transformer ? And if using the Model 1033, which posts would you connect it to, U, A, B, or C ? Appreciate the help - Bob.
If it's just used as a light and not connected to the track, you can connect it to the fixed voltage outputs. Between B and C will give you 11 volts, about right for that lockon I imagine.
@RLS, please take a look at the attached booklet - it tells you everything you need to know to get started:

Here is showing how to wire your lights and accessories independent of the track:
