Wiring your Dumbo Pylon with a conventional power supply

Wiring your accessory is the first step in preparing for flight. The Dumbo Pylon will operate best at 12-18 volts (AC), and it can be powered through track power with a

Lionel Lockon (available separately, 6-62900), or a FasTrack Accessory Power Wire (available separately, 6-12053), OR through an accessory power supply. We recommend that you choose a power supply that will allow you to increase or decrease the voltage to the accessory.

Changing the voltage allows you to control the speed at which the figure circles the pylon. Figure 1 on page 4 illustrates the following procedure.

To make proper connections, you need the insulation at the ends of the wires to be stripped back 1/4” to 3/8”. To strip the wires, use a pair of wire strippers.

Caution! Only an adult should perform this task! Always use care when stripping wires.

1.Attach one wire to the #1 terminal of the track Lockon, a FasTrack Accessory Power Wire, OR the Power/A terminal on the accessory power supply. Connect it to one of the terminals on the separate switch (included with this accessory).

2.Attach an additional wire to the other terminal on the switch. Connect the other end of this wire to one of the spring-clip terminals at the bottom of the pylon.

Note! To make the spring-clip terminal connections, press down on the “springy” top of the terminal clip so that a metal loop is formed. Slide the bare end of the wire into the exposed loop. Release pressure on the terminal clip, allowing the crimped metal to pinch the end of the wire in the metal loop. Give a little tug on the wire to check if the hold is secure.

3.Attach another wire to the #2 terminal of the track Lockon, a FasTrack Accessory Power Wire, OR the Common/Ground/U terminal on the accessory power supply. Connect it directly to one of the spring-clip terminals at the bottom of the pylon.

At this point, your accessory is wired for power. The next section explains how to operate this accessory in a conventional (non-TrainMaster Command Control) environment.
