Powering the Sawmill
Your Sawmill operates best at 10-14 volts (AC). As illustrated in Figure 1, you may connect the accessory to a separate power supply or to a Lionel Lockon (available separately, 6-62900)
connected to your track. You will need the ends of the wires to be stripped back 1/4” to 3/8”.
To strip the wires, use a pair of wire strippers. Only an adult should perform this
task! Always use care when stripping wires.
1. Attach one wire to one of the spring clip terminals. Connect it to the Power/A terminal on
your power supply OR to the #1 terminal on your Lockon.
2. Attach another wire to the remaining spring clip terminal. Connect it to one of the terminals
on the small switch included with this accessory.
3. Attach another wire to the remaining switch terminal. Connect it to the Common/Ground/U
terminal on the power supply OR to the #2 terminal on the Lockon.

Installing the Sawmill
As illustrated in Figure 2, we recommend that you position the unloading platform on the Sawmill directly in front of a Remote-Control Track section (available separately, 6-65530
for O gauge, 6-12746 or 6-65149 for O-27 gauge). Lionel Log Dump Cars (available separately)
can be triggered to empty their loads onto the platform using the track section’s controller.

You may choose to permanently secure the Sawmill to your layout with four screws (not
included). Refer to Figure 3 for the location of the mounting holes.
