Powering the accessory
While this accessory has an operating range of 12-18 volts (AC), we recommend that you operate the accessory at 18 volts for the best results. You may choose to power the
accessory with a separate accessory power supply, through a Lionel Lockon (available separately,
6-62900), or a FasTrack Accessory Power Wire (available separately, 6-12053). To make the
proper connections, be sure that the ends of the wires are stripped back 1/8” to 1/4”.
Only an adult should perform this task. We recommend using a pair of wire
strippers. Always use care when stripping wires.
As illustrated in Figure 1, attach a wire to each of the spring clip terminals on the accessory,
then connect the wires to the accessory terminals on the power supply, the spring clip terminals
on the Lockon, or the FasTrack Accessory Power Wires.
To make the spring clip terminal connections, press down on the top portion of the spring
clip so that a metal loop is exposed. Slide the bare end of the wire into the loop, then release
pressure on the spring clip.
For proper operation, set the accessory on a flat, level surface.

Installing the bubble tubes
Each of the bubble tubes is packed separately with a pipefitting and grommet already attached at the top. As illustrated in Figure 2, the three pipe sections are inserted over the
fittings to create three pairs of bubble tubes. Please note that the pipefitting on one of the
bubble tubes will not receive a pipe section.

Controlling the accessory
Rotate the oil drum to turn the bubble tubes on and off. Refer to Figure 4. The lamp inside the shack is on when the accessory is powered up.
Give the bubble tubes a few minutes to warm up. You may need to increase the
voltage to improve the bubbling. In the rare event that bubbles do not form after
following these steps, gently shake or tap the tubes to agitate the fluid.

Replacing the lamps
The interior of the shack and the bubbles tubes are each illuminated by one lamp, Lionel part no. 640-9809-300. During the course of normal operations, you may find that the
lamps require replacement. Replacement lamps are available at your authorized Lionel Service
Center or from Lionel Service.
To replace the lamp inside the shack, simply lift off the roof, unscrew the expired bulb, and
install the replacement. Replace the roof when you are done. Refer to Figure 7.
