I need to install a Lionel No.134 Passenger Station with train stop. I'm using fast track and need some help wiring the lock-ons so the train stops at the station. You have a switch at the top of the station that controls the duration of the train being stopped. Does anyone have the solution how to wire this device? Thank you, Nick

Make your own isolated center rails by removing and cutting and replacing the center rail on two tracks. Separate them with a couple of straight pieces. Wire them like you would using tubular with "fiber" plastic pins.
Works fine. Adjust the bi metal switch to set the stop time.

Thank you for your help. Happy Holiday's
Another option is to use a pair of 1 3/8" Insulated Straight Sections (6-102047). Remove the wire that connects the center rail. Put them at the far ends of the track in front of the station. Connect a red wire and a black wire from the station to the center rail and an outer rail of the insulated track. Voila!
FasTrack fits together tightly. It demands precise geometry. You may have to use another pair of Insulated Straight Sections on the far side to balance those by the station. No need to remove the center rail wire on those sections. Just lay them opposite the ones by the station or next to each other.
