Transformer Compatibility and Wiring Chart
Note that many of the operational commands described in these instructions
require a bell button, so if you are using a transformer other than the one
included in this set and your transformer does not have its own bell button, you
should consider adding one to get the full benefit of the system.

Compatibility
While this Ready-To-Run set is equipped with everything you need to operate
it, the design allows flexibility. The train will operate on any traditional O-31 or
larger O Gauge track system, including the RealTrax® included with this set or
traditional tubular track. It is also compatible with most standard AC
transformers, including the hobby transformer packaged with your set. (See
below for a complete list of compatible transformers and wiring instructions.)
