Hi,
I'm an old guy who's new to this so please forgive a dumb question.
Does any one have a wire diagram for an old set of marx switches? I picked them up at a swap meet with no instructions and I don't want to fry any thing.
I'm hooking them up to a Lionel 1033 transformer.
Thanks
BillS

Switches

A site to bookmark and read.

A general switch operation:
The switch gets track power. With three terminals one is common the others are from a coil. By grounding a coil to common moves the switch.
 
Dub,

Thank you for the help, and for the link. That site has already been a big help.

Thanks again

Bill S
