Lionel #455 Oil Derrick
Posted by ccilarry on Friday, February 17, 2012 12:42 PM

We are trying to get a 455 oil derrick operating.  It was working but the wires needed to be replaced.  We seem to have forgotten how the wires were connected.  Does anyone have a picture or can send a picture of the wiring to the thermal switch?

Thanks for the schematic and maintenance manual.  I believe we have it figured out.  Looks like we put the wrong end of the thermal wire to the hot terminal.

That is a great accessory.  I have one on the Ironton  AMVETS layot and it functions well!
