The transformer included with this set should be periodically
examined for conditions that may result in the risk of fire,
electric shock, or injury to persons (such as damage to the
output cord, blades, housing, or other parts). In the event that
such conditions exist, the transformer should not be used until
properly repaired.

Joining the track sections
J
oin the track sections together by inserting
the pins of one track section into the open
ends of another. For good electrical contact, the
pins must be carefully inserted and the track
joints tightly fitted.
If the track is difficult to connect, try this
installation tip. You can “break in” O gauge
track sections by inserting and withdrawing a
track pin into one rail at a time before joining
the entire track section as illustrated in Figure 1.
If the openings become too large (causing the
track to fit loosely), pinch the rail together
around a track pin with a pair of pliers. If any
pins fall out of the track and are missing, replace
them with extras available from your Lionel
dealer.
Maintenance tip: The rails should be kept
clean, dry, and free from oil and grease. Clean
rust and dirt spots with a track eraser. Wipe the
track using a cloth dampened with track cleaner
from the Lionel Maintenance Kit (6-62927),
available from your nearest Lionel Dealer.

Suggested track layouts
F
igure 2 provides some examples of lay-
outs you can build with eight straight
and eight curved sections of track.
Remember—the more track you own, the
more variations you can create in your train
layout. And that means more action and
more fun!
We recommend that you do not set
up your track layout on carpeted
surfaces. Carpet fibers may collect on your
engine’s wheels and drive gears, preventing
your engine from operating properly. For
best results, place the track on a hard
surface.
