I’m looking to purchase a lionel crossing gate but I’m not userhow to hook it up to the new Lionel FasTrack? With the old tubualr track you could use a lock on. has anyone attached some thing like this? Any suggestions?
Thanks, Jim
You need the Accessory Activator sectional track piece for Fastrack. Available at any LHS handling O Guage.
2 points. each piece of Fastrack has connectors where you can slide on the connectors with wires – either Lionel’s expensive ones or ones from an electronic supply store.
For wiring your crossing gate, you probably need an insulated track section and the sections that Lionel sells with gaps in one outer rail. Diections come with the accessory activator section, and it has two wires hooked up.
Check the Classic Toy Trains forum for more discussion of this and of hooking it up to the CW80 transformer.
