Lionel OTC problem

Classic Toy Trains Forum

Has anyone been able to successfully control their operating tracks (particularly FasTrack) with their Cab-1 using the OTC from Lionel? I have been unable to get mine to work.

I have wired it according to the instructions in the manual, which shows the track being powered by an independent source. Is there a way to wire it using track power or would this risk damaging the track/OTC?

Did you program the ID numbers correctly? The magnet in the center section is very small and you can miss the plnger activator without much prolem. I haven’t used the OTC but I have used SC-2’s to control remote control tracks.
