The Lionel Plug-Expand-Play lock-on

I
ncluded with your set is a complementary single port Plug-Expand-Play lock-on compatable with
any Plug-Expand-Play accessory; however, this lock-on will not work with animated accessories.
(To obtain a lock-on designed to trigger an animated accessory based on the presence of a train you
need the 6-81317 Accessory Activator Lock On.) Each accessory has a cable attached to its base that
plug into the lock-on's 3-pin female connectors.
This piece of FasTrack only uses 2 of the 3 terminals in the attached lock-on; red and black, con-
nected under the track. The red wire connects to the center rail to supply power to the accessory. The
black wire connects to the outside rail to supply ground power to the accessory. The white wire is not
used with this item. See figure 7.

Note!
Do NOT forcefully connect your accesso-
ry's 3-pin male connector into the 3-pin
female connector on the lock-on. Doing
so will damage the pins on the accessory
and/or the lock-on. Make sure that you
are also inserting the connectors with
the proper orientation. Lionel's Limited
Warranty does NOT cover this type of
damage to your products.
