I purchased an MTH RailKing® Fire Station and am having trouble getting the Activation Button to work. When 1st power on, the door opened, fire truck came out and returned.... but the Activation Button (radio shack 110v ac momentary push button), does not activate the sequence. My wiring diagram is attached. Any ideas on what I might have done wrong?

Try unhook the button first, if it still move's check if the wire end's are touching you should be able to touch the wire's together without the button wire up to make it work .

Most 3 rail accessories that I have seen operate from 12 - 14 volts AC. And only need one power source. Your wiring diagram shows 2 sources, both DC, and no common between them. Are you sure that DC and 2 sources are needed?
Tried that and still no luck...
