Track layout

Joining the track sections

J oin the track sections together
by inserting the pins of one track section
into the rail openings
of another. For good
electrical contact, pins
must be carefully
inserted and track
joints tightly fitted.
If the track is diffi-
cult to connect, try this
installation tip. You
can "break in" O-27
track sections by
inserting and with-
drawing a track pin
into one rail at a time
before joining the
entire track section.
If the openings
become too open
(causing the track to
fit loosely), pinch the
rail together around a track pin with a pair
of pliers. If any pins fall out of the track and
4
are missing, replace
them with extras avail-
able from your Lionel
dealer.
Maintenance tip: The
rails should be kept
clean, dry, and free
from oil and grease.
Clean rust and dirt
spots with a track eras-
er. Wipe the track using
a cloth dampened with
track cleaner from the
Lionel maintenance kit
(no. 6-62927), avail-
able from your nearest
Lionel Authorized
Value Added Dealer or
