I have put it around my xmas tree and it looks wonderful. i'd like to get it running but am afraid to hook it up. the transformer i have is a train master type kw 115 volt, 60 cycle 190 watts. it has 2 control on the top a and b a red light and whistle red lever, along w/ 2 direction buttons. i have the track and engine a few cars on the track now. I have the lionel ctc lock on clipped on to the track w/ 2 wires attached to it. number one and two. were should i hook it up to the back of the transformer, the following is on the back of the transformer FROM LEFT TO RIGHT TOP TO BOTTOM LINE

See my three respinses on the GR forum.

"U" and "A" for knob "A", "U" and "B" for knob "B".
See the part about lubrication.
I would have e-mailed you, but you failed to put an e-mail address in your profile.
