Joining the track sections
Join the track sections together by inserting the pins of each track section into the rail opening of the other section. Refer to Figure 1. Pins must be fully inserted and track joints
tightly fitted for good electrical contact. The plastic track sections snap together to assure
correct assembly. If the rail openings have become enlarged and fit together loosely, pinch the
rail around a track pin with a pair of pliers. If any pins fall out of the track, be sure to replace
them.
The rails should be kept clean, dry, and free from oil and grease. Remove corrosion and
dirt spots with any commercial non abrasive metal polishing pad to keep your track in top
condition. Wipe the track with a clean soft cloth dampened with track cleaner from the Lionel
Lubrication and Maintenance Set (6-62927).
