Joining the MagneLock track sections
Lionel's MagneLock Track allows you to assemble your track in seconds! Just hold the pieces near each other and magnets will align and hold the sections together. Metal rail joiners are not neces-
sary between the sections as the connectors in the roadbed will transfer power. If you would like to add
these connectors for extra alignment and conductivity, or if you would like to join MagneLock Track
to other HO tracks, simply break away the alignment tabs on the ends of the rails and insert the rail
joiners. Lionel HO MagneLock Track is compatible with HO code 83 rail track from other manufac-
turers.
While not necessary, if you would like to fasten your track permanently to a platform, small holes
are provided in the roadbed for nails. Metal tabs on the underside of the roadbed can be used to solder
additional feeder wires if desired.
