Could someone please tell me how to get my #154 highway flashers working on my simple oval under the tree? I use Atlas track. If someone could provide a wiring diagram for the insulated rail method that would be great. I have a TAD somewhere but I can't find it. Thanks!

Is this the "modern" 2-terminal 154 or the earlier 3-terminal 154?
If you have the earlier 3-terminal PW 154, then you need to add a flasher circuit. There are several off-the-shelf suppliers of these flasher modules for, say, $10-$20. Or you can roll your own for about $5 using assorted eBay electronic modules. There have been several OGR threads on options for either method.
But if you have the modern 2-terminal 154, then it would be the generic hookup method:
I have the Highway Flashers with the 3 terminals.
You need to add a flasher module/circuit. There have been many threads on how to do this from roll-your-own to almost plug-and-play. Do an OGR search for "Lionel 154".
For example, here's a somewhat lengthy thread with a range of options. If wading through such posts makes your head spin, while I haven't used one myself the Dallee 367 module seems to pop up in these discussions. Here's their wiring diagram which is about as close to plug-and-play as you will get!
