<p>Bill,</p><p>Ah, now I understand. You are talking about the locking tab on the top of the Caboose option attachment. If you look closely (with a maginifer) at the "peg" you describe you will find that it is actually beveled. This tab is meant to slide into the slot on the top of the attachment receiver and lock the attachment into place as you noted.</p><p>Yes, it is a <em>very</em> tight fit and the solution is to <u>push hard</u>. Obviously you want to have a firm grip on everything so that when you apply the extra force you do not break anything but it really does work and the tab really does slide on home and into the locking slot.</p><p>I used a few of the Caboose model 218S ground throws which also have the multiple option attachments on my layout . Then I changed to the wire link method shown on the NMRA web site: <a href="http://www.nmra.org/beginner/ground_throw.html">http://www.nmra.org/beginner/ground_throw.html</a> I find that method easier (and the model 202S ground throws cheaper).</p><p>Good Luck.</p><p>-John</p>
