Plug-Expand-Play®
This revolutionary accessory system simplifies the setup and operation of your
favorite accessories. Plug-Expand-Play®accessories easily connect to your layout
for power using a standardized 3-pin cable that connects directly to a Plug-Expand-
Play®Lock-on track section. Separate control boxes that are necessary for control
of some accessories also use the easy-to-use cable system. Many multi-operation
accessories utilize a standardized 6-pin control cable, and there are separate-sale
cables that allow you to expand your system to meet your needs. More complicated
wiring necessary on older accessories is simplified with the new standardized cable
system fitted on every Plug-Expand-Play®accessory.

tom end of the support rod onto the D-shaped mounting post on the top of the pylon. Refer
to the diagram for further assistance.
2. Insert the D-shaped top end of the rod into the D-shaped opening in the bottom of the fig-
ure.
Complete the assembly of your double pylon by attaching the included figures and their
support rods to the structure. Figure 1b illustrates the following procedure.
1. Note that the supporting rods have different shaped ends. Insert the flattened ends of the
support rods into the tubes protruding from the top of the pylon. Refer to the diagram for
further assistance.

TRACK ACCESSORY
Connecting your accessory to a transformer
To power your accessory using a CW-80 Transformer (6-14198), or any other transformer,
you will need the 8" 3-pin female pigtail cable (available separately, 6-82038)to connect
to the transformer terminals. Make sure that all connections are secure. Loose connections
can produce extremely high temperatures. For this reason, do not touch the terminals or
track connections during use. Also, do not locate scenery materials such as lichen or ground
foam near the terminals.
1. Plug in the 3-pin male connector on the accessory to the 3-pin female slot on
the pigtail.
2. Loosen the red ACCESSORY thumbscrew terminal, then place the red wire on
the metal terminal bar. Still holding the wire end, tighten the red thumbscrew
until secure. Be sure that the wire is touching the metal post.
3. Loosen the black ACCESSORY thumbscrew terminal, then place the black
wire on the metal terminal bar. Still holding the wire end, tighten the black
thumbscrew until secure. Be sure that the wire is touching the metal post.
4. Plug the CW-80 Transformer into your wall outlet (120 volts).
5. Apply 18 volts of power by raising the orange throttle on the transformer.
