complete the track design. You can purchase additional track
components from any authorized MTH retailer.
The lighted lockon included in
your set snaps into any
RealTrax® track section roadbed
and functions as the interface
between the track and the
transformer. Each RealTrax® track
section includes two “knock-out”
tabs in the roadbed (on either end
of the track) that can be removed to
reveal an opening for the lighted
lockon. To remove this
knock-out
grab the
knock-out
with a pair of
pliers and gently twist the
knock-out
until it snaps away from the
roadbed base. Once the
knock-out
has been removed, snap the lighted
lockon into the roadbed taking care
to make sure that the lockon arms
snap into the roadbed electrical
receptors. To complete the
connection between the RealTrax®
track section and the transformer,
simply plug in the color-coded wire
