MTH Operating Accessory wiring diagram needed.

Would some one here be able to provide a wiring diagram for wiring the MTH operating accessories like the car wash or gas station. The MTH instruction book is total rubbish.

Kevin,

The following was taken from the car wash instructions. Hope you can follow it better!

1- wire from transformer power to one terminal of activation button.

2- wire from transformer power to terminal 'a' on accessory.

3- wire from transformer power to terminal 'd' on accessory.

4- wire from other terminal of activation button to post 'c' on accessory.

5- posts 'b' and 'e' on accessory get connected to transformer neutral.

Posts 'd' and 'e' get constant power for lights.

Post 'a' gets constant power, and post 'c' switches power on and off for accessory operation.
