A STATION THAT ACTUALLY TALKS
American Flyer Engineers have developed a prize winning feature
of
the
year when they brought forth new 755A Talking Station. I t stops the train
announces the stations and with a great array of real railroad sounds,
it
again starts the train on its way.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR SETTING U P AND
OPERATING NO. 755A TALKING STATION
This Talking Station is designed to operate on 60 cycle current only
I t will operate from a transformer running the train on alternating current
or from a transformer and rectifier running the train on direct current.
First determine the approximate position in your layout where you wan:
the station located. Then remove a steel pin from the outside rail and replace
with a fiber track pin. Several sections away repeat this operation. This will
give you two or three sections of rail which is completely insulated from the
rest of the track.
Now clip the
No. 707 TRACK TERMINAL
on the track so that the
BASE POST CLIP
is connected to the insulated rail.
See the above diagram and proceed as follows:
