The wiring of model trains and their accessories is seldom discussed in this forum as it deals with the 1:1 scale, i.e. the real thing.

You'd be better served signing on to the Classic Toy Trains forum or the Model Railroader forum. The Garden Railways forum on this site deals with G type trains which are mostly two rail, 45 mm gauge.  And although Lionel briefly entered that domain, they used two rail DC, too; no 3 rail nor AC loco drives. 

If you scan the threads below, you'll find you're not alone posting on this forum thinking it's for old (Classic) Lionel trains.

trouble wiring Lionel Transfer table to MTH DCS
Posted by TrainMaster02 on Thursday, August 30, 2007 10:46 AM

 Hello  I am looking for information on wiring Lionel 350 Transfer table to MTH DCS. I have purchase Lionel Trainmaster command base and the cabling to connect theTrainmaster command base to TIU. I thought I had it working for a time. , but it was not working in reverse. I started moving wires around and forgot how I had the wires hooked up to the AIU. I am looking for good information or a diagram the right way to wire The transfer table to DCS. Looking for some great information on how to wire this Accessory properly. I know it the transfer table need to use two banks pon the AIU.
