Congratulations on your purchase of the Lionel Playground Swings Vignette! Now featuring Plug-n-Play, this whimsical vignette features two figures that swing back and

looks on.

Wiring your accessory
Figure 1. Accessory wiring
Your Plug-n-Play Playground Swings Vignette connects to either a Plug-n-Play lock-on (6-81313) or a Plug-n-Play power block lock-on (6-81314) with a 3-pin male connector
that is attached to its base. Simply plug this connector into the lock-on and apply track
power. Two children will swing when track power is applied. See figure 1 for wiring.

Connecting your accessory to a transformer
To power your accessory using a CW-80 Transformer (6-14198)or any other power supply, you will need the included 8" 3-pin female pigtail to connect to the transformer
terminals. Make sure that all connections are secure. Loose connections can produce
extremely high temperatures. For this reason, do not touch the terminals or track connections
during use. Also, do not locate scenery materials such as lichen or ground foam near the
terminals. See figure 5 on page 9.
1. Plug in the 3-pin male connector on the accessory to the 3-pin female slot
on the pigtail.
2. Loosen the red ACCESSORY thumbscrew terminal, then place the red wire
on the metal terminal bar. Still holding the wire end, tighten the red
thumbscrew until secure. Be sure that the wire is touching the metal post.
3. Loosen the black ACCESSORY thumbscrew terminal, then place the black
wire on the metal terminal bar. Still holding the wire end, tighten the
black thumbscrew until secure. Be sure that the wire is touching the metal post.
4. Plug the CW-80 Transformer into your wall outlet (120 volts).
5. Apply 12-14 volts of power by raising the orange throttle on the
transformer.

Wiring for TMCC or LEGACY
To power your accessory in the Command Control and LEGACY environments, you will need an SC-2 (6-22980), an ASC (6-14182), or an ASC2 (6-81639). You will also need
the included 8" 3-pin female pigtail and a transformer (6-14198). See figures 6 and 7 for
wiring.
Note Refer to your CAB-1, CAB-1L, or LEGACY manual for remote instructions.
SC-2 wiring and operation
Three wires are needed to connect your accessory to the SC-2 and a separate accessory transformer. Refer to Figure 6.
1. Attach a wire to the transformer Common/Ground/U terminal and connect it to the COMM
(common) position on the SC-2.
2. Connect the black wire of the pigtail to the AUX2 terminal on the SC-2.
3. Finally, connect the red wire of the pigtail to the transformer Power/A terminal.
AUX2 will make the two children swing. The swings will come to a gradual stop when
AUX2 is released.
