I recently purchased a Lionel Prewar/Postwar #45N gateman. I was not aware that it was designed to operate via a track clip and the weight of the train would activate it. The original instructions dictate it should not be operate at more than 12 volts. This is not going to happen in today's command control world.
Has anyone wired up one of these to work with a push button and accessory transformer? If so, can you share a wiring diagram? Thanks.
