Starting on Page 14, Automatic signalling methods and wiring are explained.

Hi Steve, Thanks, however, I need to know which lockons to us for Super O. CTC lockons don't fit, I have many other lockon types, none really seem to go with Super O, unless i cut the RR ties away. I'm trying to switch from 145c's to a insulated track system, and no matter how I've wired it, I can''t get the Gateman to operate properly off the track.

Yes, thank you!  I believe that have tried every wiring combination of #61 and #62.  I give.  Please show me.

Also, is it possible to only use the #61? How would you wire that?

See page 38 and mimic the O gauge wiring to Super-O

You need the #61 Super O ground lock-on (and the #48 or #49 insulated track section). Depending on your preferred wiring, you might also need the #62 power lock-on.

Freehand diagram attached, but hopefully conveys the idea. 

Thanks Bob, I did do that, exactly, using #61 and #62.  No matter which way i set the wires [with C terminal for Gateman, ZW], i either get a light concurrent with the power for Train [on D terminal ZW], or no light and man comes out concurrent with train track power. UGH. I seem so close.  The insulated track system seems to have no effect on the operation.

AHH, Uberstationmeister, i didn't know i needed a second #61!! thanks, will try that!!
