Fixing Lionel uncoupler / loader track
Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, January 9, 2005 9:56 AM
Thought I would ask if anyone could give me some ideas here,
Bought a used control track and it will not work at all, took apart the controller and all looks well, wires too. Any ideas on what i could do to fix this? Also what is the proper wiring seqence for the wires from the controller to the track looking down at the track piece?

There are diagrams, but not well organized. Try looking at all the remote-control tracks and see whether you can find yours. Which one do you have?

First check electrical continuity with a multimeter or similar tool... are the terminals electrically continuous with the control rails? Does the control switch complete the appropriate circuits between its control wires?
