If you don’t get a light, you’ve connected common-common or hot-hot. If you don’t know, you’ll just have to guess. If the light turns on, you’re in phase. On most Lionel products, the ground is indicated by black and hot by red. You can use one of our lighted accessories or a simple grain-of-wheat bulb or LED (make sure it is rated for at least 18 V AC!) Attach one lead of the bulb to the common terminal on Transformer 1 and the hot terminal on Transformer 2. Test the transformers to ensure they are in phase by using a test light.Power up the two transformers to the same voltage.Since most Lionel transformers use black terminals for the common, black is a good choice. We highly recommend color coding your wires. If the terminals aren’t labeled, you’ll simply have to guess.
