The early design shows a white crossing sign and a base which has 3 terminals. The later design shows a black crossing sign and a base which has 2 terminals.
Would you know when Lionel changed the design?
Would you know why the newer base has only 2 terminals instead of 3?
(I contacted Lionel. They have "no information" on the changes)
Also....I have a Lionel "Control Switch No. 88......Can't remember what it is used for. Can you help?
As always, many thanks.
All older 154s used a track connector, the train wheels ran over it and completed the ground circuit. Newer 154s have a small board in them that gives you an even flash so all it needs is an on/off connection. # 88 is a push button momentary on/off switch you could use for most anything.
