Wiring the Auto Dealership
Your Auto Dealership operates best at 12 to 18 volts (AC). Power this accessory through a separate power supply or through track power by using a Lionel Lockon (available
separately, 6-62900) or a FasTrack Accessory Power Wire (available separately, 6-12053). To
make the proper connections, the wire must be stripped back 1/8” to 1/4”.
Use a pair of wire strippers. Only an adult should perform this task. Always use
care when stripping wires.
FasTrack Users. If you are using a FasTrack Accessory Power Wire (available separately, 6-12053),
slide the quick connectors on the wires over the electrical terminals on the underside of the track.
Attach the bare ends of the wires to the spring clip terminals on the underside of the Auto Dealership.
1. Connect one wire from the Power/A terminal on your power supply or the #1 terminal on a
track Lockon to a spring clip terminal on the underside of the Auto Dealership. To make the
spring clip terminal connections, simply press down on the upper portion of the spring clip,
insert the bare end of the wire into the exposed loop, and release pressure to secure the
connection. Refer to Figure 1.
2. Connect another wire from the Common/Ground/U terminal on your power supply or the
#2 terminal on a track Lockon to the remaining spring clip terminal on the underside of the
Auto Dealership.

Replacing the lamps
Your Auto Dealership accessory is illuminated by several fuse-style lamps (Lionel part no. 630-2998-300). During the course of normal operations, these lamps may require
replacement. Replacement lamps are available at your authorized Lionel Service Center or from
Lionel Service.
We recommend wearing safety glasses when replacing the lamps.
The neon lighting is expected to function for the life of this accessory. Only an
authorized Lionel Service Center should service this component.
Interior lamps
Use a small flat screwdriver and a pair of pliers to replace the fuse-style lamps that illuminate the
interior of the accessory. Refer to Figure 5.
1. Lift away the roof or pull away the access panels to access the expired lamp.
2. Carefully position the end of a small flat screwdriver between one of the metal ends of the
lamp and the housing.

Pry the lamp out of the socket against a metal end only. Prying against the glass
tube could cause the tube to shatter.
4. Use a pair of pliers to gently press the prongs together.
