Reply to "Wiring Lionel 022 Switches"

I'm not familiar with the 1033 transformer, but I would try a wire connected to the fixed voltage plug and the A terminal (not the U terminal)  of the 1033 transformer. Then, insert the fixed voltage plug in the opening for it on the O22 switch. Then, attach the three wires from the switch controllers to the posts for them on the switch. Then, turn on the power from the 1033 transformer and test the switch.

If you do the above and the switch works, then you need to get or create a separate port terminal block (or something similar) and run a wire from the A post on the 1033 transformer to the new terminal block, and then wires from the terminal block to each fixed voltage plug.

You may need as much as 18 volts of power for the 022 switches to operate well. I use a separate ZW transformer to provide 16 to 18 volts to my 9 022 switches on my layout. Arnold
