Hi, I'm looking for the wiring diagram for the bridge, not hoe to wire it for operation. Does anyone have and is willing to e-mail it to me?

Thanks

Mike

Mike,

           I think that I have the internal wiring diagram for the 313 around.  I'll post it asap.

Here is the wiring diagram as it appears in Toy Train Repair Made Easy:

Note:  This diagram shows the lamp lead connected to binding post 2.  This will cause the lamp to light only while the bridge is in motion.  Lionel originally connected the lead to post 5 so that the lamp is always lit.

Edit: For some reason Photobucket rotated the photo after I uploaded, and I can't make it right with what I've tried.  You  can save it to your PC and rotate it using the viewer.  I'll keep trying to fix it.

Jim,

Thanks, what I find interesting is, that is where it looks like my PW 313 bulb was originally soldered but when I attach it there and operate the bridge the light does not come on at all.
