Installing a Lionel Sound Activation Button for conventional operation

I f your transformer lacks WHISTLE and BELL buttons, you will need to install Lionel
no. 610-5906-001 Sound Activation Buttons (available separately) to activate the locomotive's
whistle and bell sounds.
You may find that the WHISTLE and BELL buttons control the opposite features. To
remedy this situation, you may swap the track power wires or run the locomotive in the opposite
direction.
Connect the buttons as shown below. Be sure that all track power passes through the Sound
Activation Button(s). Do not bypass the buttons.
