Wiring prewar gateman to wire to push button | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

RaritanRiverRailroadFan4OGR Forum Member

For one of my 4H modules I plan to place a 90 push button on the outside of the module to activate a prewar auto gateman. Are there wiring instructions for this type of setup? The same would go for crossing gates or other interactive accessories. Any tips would be appreciated.

Simply use the terminals of the #90 button instead of the terminals on the 41C or terminals 2 & 3 on a 153C.

You could also use standard unlit doorbell pushbutton. That way there is not exposed wiring if you are using the module with the general public.

Here's the wiring diagram:

So, just wire the pushbutton in place of the track switch and aways you go!

Hi Joe,

If you're taking your layout to the Metca show on Saturday, I'm setting up my layout next to yours and I'll show you how I did it.
