Moonman posted:When you cut the cord, which one is hot?
if you look at the cord with the plug end has 3 holes the wire with the rib on side of wire is the hot wire you can get some pin connectors and make your own cable any length you need. note the plug has a v shape at one end hot wire is 3 from that and common wire is the center hole. I showed the type of pin I am referring to not sure of its exact size but I used this instead of buying the connector cable from lionel. hope this helps you and others as well
