I am attempting to build an 0 scale layout, my first, and have a question about switches. My layout has 6 Lionel 031 Remote Control Switches. What is the correct placement of the plastic insulator pin? Is it always on the inside of the "V" end of the switch? What if I connect two switches together as if I put them both on the inside of the "V", then I would end up with a metal pin in the center and the two plastic pins on either side at the point the two switches meet. Does that make sense?
Also, what source would you recommend to someone who has no idea how to wire a layout? I bought a new Lionel ZW Controller for the trains and bought the book, "Greenberg's Wiring Your Lionel Layout" by Peter Riddle but to be quite honest...I don't get it.
Welcome to the forums.
Now I'm going to send you away. Go to the top of the page and click on Classic Toy Trains. They are into O scale and Lionel. This forum is primarily N and HO scale.
Good luck with your answer and your layout.
Have fun,
