USING SUPER O TRACK IN CONJUCTION WITH 3656 CATTLE CORRAL AND 3462/3472 MILK CAR

Trainman, wiring the stockyard is the same, regardless of the track. The two accessory pieces of track are required to give the power and ground blades access to the car’s contacts. ( that wasn’t a problem with regular O and O27 track )  If you need a photo copy of the cattle yard instructions let me know. I’ll send a pdf file

Hi Richard,

Thanks for your reply. I am working as a go between, as I am getting over Covid and trying to explain the details to my friend.

The Greenburg guide mentioned there were spacers that go under the special tracks, to compensate for height of the contacts mounted on the corral. I am ok with the wiring and I have the platform instructions.  However, the manner in which these tracks are mounted onto the corral is where there is a question.

Thanks Joe

I believe the problem with the 3656 cattle car and platform is that they pre-dates super O track by a few years. So the best option would be to use the no 38 accessory adapter sections, as noted in this except from a 1965 service document.
