Its me again !!!!. I am re- introducing some accessories, back onto the tracks, with my desire to rid the
metal contactors. THIS TIME, it is the Ladies Hair clip style of track lock on and the 154 crossing signal.
Starting to amass some relays, thru, Hennings, and AZATRAX, I have very nice picture instructions, ( this goes here, that goes there, yea)
Now I found, something which find intriguing or amusing. Picture to follow, and the usage of a WAGNER 537 automotive relay.
I know what those are, --- replace them all the time in the Freightliners/Kenworths, when turn signals go out.
check out the pic.His intructions, are blue ground goes to the insulated rail. and the power orange of course he says
as this " On my layouts I use blue wire to bring ground off the insulated outside rails when the train is present, and use orange wire for the + side of crossing accessories.
The 154 highway flasher has three terminals number from left to right as 3, 2, and 1. Terminal 1 is the ground and gets connected to the blue wire from the insulated outside rail. The other two terminals go to the bulb centers and are wired to the relay. Wiring it the way I have with the blue wire from the insulated rail to the highway flasher ground means if the sign touches the track it will activate rather than cause a short.
I found on train99.com as a result from Google,
The 537 relay has three terminals L, X and P. L is the + current in which on my layout is an orange wire. X and P go to the bulbs in the highway flasher through flasher terminals 2 and 3. The order of X and P to 2 and 3 does not matter "
Now then does this mean , can I go to my 2nd transformer, accessory, power, button, and thus this will leave the negative, ground on the 2nd transformer ( a V - 150 watt), with no Wire.
CORRECT !!! or
O yeah, the wires on the Crossing are from a switch, and I have that wire available. My wonderment , is the post not having anything. BUT makes sense, cuz it went to the insulated rail.
and thanks for the time. I got a lot of little paper pieces to cut out of this cereal box .
