Log Loader

[dennyblock]

Can someone tell me how to wire the three posts on the back of the 364 log loader? There labled A, B& C. Power, ground and what? Also what switch does it use? A photo  would be a great  help. Thanks for any  help, Denny

i have one installed.  mine is original equipment not the modern re-issue.   reading from the instructions

the A and C on the accessory goes to the power ---the C going to the powers U post. 

The B and C on the accessory go to the switch a 364 C...but any 64 type switch will do. it has 6 connections that work in pairs --- not intuitive if you have one....A & B or D & E or E  & F or B & C.

The instruction set is generally available on Ebay, from a guy named Postwarman.  he sells them starting price of  $9.99. 

I often thought that the forum should have a library with pictures and instructions that we all could contribute to.  Certainly, combined we have more info than the Lionel Help Line.

good luck

What a great idea?  Bob/OgaugeOverlord are you listening? The HELP or FAQ thread could be stuck at the top.  Some older threads could be incorporated into this HELP section or maybe just a page with links that point to previous how to threads

Yes that's a very good idea. I had some conversations at the Lionel Collectors Club UK show on this subject.

 Due to the diffrence in power frequency (UK 50 Hz -US 60Hz) Newbie's can have real problems just getting trains to run over here.

 A central store for FAQ and HELP information would be a very useful.

Ralph, when you say "U", you probably mean the transformer common.  But Lionel used "U" to mark the common only on multiple-output transformers.  On others, it was the wiper connection.
