Joining The Track Sections - Lionel Silver Bell Express Owner's Manual

Track assembly and layout

Joining the track sections

J oin the track sections together by inserting the pins of each track section into the rail
openings of another section. Refer to Figure 1. Pins must be fully inserted and track joints
tightly fitted for good electrical contact. The plastic track sections snap together to assure
correct assembly. With the track included in this set, you can create a circle. Expand your layout
with additional sections of straight and curved track, available at your authorized Lionel dealer.
All electrical connections should be clean and tight. The track should fit together firmly. If
the rail openings have become enlarged and fit together loosely, pinch the rail around a track
pin with a pair of pliers. If any pins fall out of the track, be sure to replace them.
The rails should be kept clean, dry, and free from oil and grease. Clean off tarnish and dirt
spots with any commercial brass cleaner or non-abrasive metal polishing pad to keep your track
in top condition. Wipe the track with a clean soft cloth dampened with track cleaner from the
Lionel Lubrication and Maintenance Set (6-62927).
