Creating a Siding Track layout
Use the track sections from the track pack and eight curve sections, three straight sections,
and one terminal section (available separately and included in ready-to-run train sets) to
create a Siding Track layout. Refer to Figure 1 below as you assemble the track sections.

Joining the FasTrack track sections
FasTrack track sections join together easily. With interlocking roadbed sections and large rail
tabs, the track fits together securely so you always get good electrical contact. Take a look at
Figure 2 to see how to join the track sections.
1. Line up your two sections of track.
2. Insert the rail tabs into the openings at the ends of the corresponding rails.
3. Press the sections together until the interlocking roadbed snaps into place.

Throwing the switch
As illustrated in Figure 3, rotate the top of the switch stand to throw the switch. The switch is
equipped with a non-derailing feature. The train’s wheels automatically throw the
“points,” or the moving rails, to the proper position when the train travels toward the
converging track. If you experience difficulties, simply throw the switch into the correct position
for the train to travel using the switch stand controls.

Changing the switch stand location
You may choose to position the switch stand either inside or outside the loop of track. Follow
these steps and refer to Figure 4 to change the location of the switch stand.
1. Remove the two screws that secure the small roadbed section to the switch and lift away the
roadbed section.
2. Place the “points,” or moving rails, in the proper position to make removing the switch
stand roadbed section easier.
• If the switch stand is being removed from the curved side, the blades should be set to the
through/straight position.
• If the switch stand is being removed from the straight side, the blades should be set to
the out/curve position.
3. Remove the two screws that secure the switch stand roadbed section to the switch. Please
note that these screws are located towards the inside edge of the switch stand roadbed
section. Lift away the switch stand roadbed section being careful to prevent the switch target
and handle from rotating more than a quarter turn. (The handle and target are labeled in
Figure 3 on page 5.)
4. Slide the blades to the opposite position to access the slot at the end of the switch control
arm. The blades are illustrated in Figure 3 on page 5.
5. Install the switch stand roadbed section at its new location. The posts on the switch should
be inserted into the holes on the switch stand roadbed section. The pin on the switch stand
mechanism should be inserted into the slot on the switch control arm. Insert the two screws
to secure the switch stand. Remove the switch target from the handle and replace in the
proper direction.
The painted target face should point toward the straight/through when the blades are
set in the out/curved position.
6. Install the small roadbed section, securing it in place with the two screws.
7. Check for proper clearance of all locomotives and rolling stock. You may choose to move the
switch target from the switch stand for additional clearance.

Operating the Uncoupling Track section
Without making any additional connections, your Uncoupling Track is powered through
track power. Be sure that your throttle is set to 10-12 volts (AC) to activate the magnet.
To uncouple or operate your rolling stock, position the trigger disc over the central magnet,
press the button on the controller, and the magnet will pull the trigger disc downward to release
the coupler or activate the car. Refer to Figure 5.
Do not exceed ten seconds when pressing the button. Holding down the button for
over ten seconds may damage the track section.

Connecting your Uncoupling Track section to an auxiliary power
supply
You may choose to power your Uncoupling Track section with a separate power supply using
an Accessory Power Wire with quick connectors (available separately, 6-12053). This will
allow you to uncouple or operate your rolling stock with track power off. Refer to Figure 6 as
you make the power supply connections.
Do not use the accessory terminals on your track power supply.
1. Attach the quick connectors at the end of the Accessory Power Wire (available separately,
6-12053) to the AUX IN and AUX GND tabs on the underside of the Uncoupling Track
section.
2. Connect the bare ends of the Accessory Power Wire to the Power/A and Common Ground/U
terminals on your power supply.
3. Move the quick connector at the end of the controller cable from the tab labeled TRK PWR to
the tab labeled AUX PWR.
4. Turn on your power supply when you are ready to operate the track section using the
controller. Note that the power supply must be set at 10-12 volts.

Operating the Uncoupling Track section in the Command Control
environment
For operation in the TrainMaster Command Control environment, you may choose to
purchase an Operating Track Controller (available separately, 6-14185). A FasTrack
Accessory Power Wire is required (available separately, 6-12053). Refer to these manuals for
additional information. Refer to Figure 7 as you connect the Uncoupling Track section to the
OTC.
1. Remove the controller button by sliding the quick connectors off the tabs on the underside
of the track.
2. Attach a bare wire at the end of the Accessory Power Wire to a numbered position on the
OTC.
3. Attach the other bare wire at the end of the Accessory Power Wire to the COMMON position
on the OTC.
4. Determine the appropriate power tab connection.
• If the Uncoupling Track section is powered through the track, slide a quick connector at
the end of the Accessory Power Wire over the TPK PWR tab.
• If the Uncoupling Track section is powered by a separate power supply, slide a quick
connector at the end of the Accessory Power Wire over the AUX PWR tab.
5. Slide the remaining quick connector over the COIL tab. Use the AUX1 button on your CAB-1
Remote Controller to operate the track section.

Connecting your transformer
Connecting your transformer to your FasTrack layout is very simple. If you are adding on to
your train set loop or you have a FasTrack terminal section with the wires already
connected, you can connect your transformer directly to the FasTrack terminal section wires.
Refer to the train set or power terminal section owner’s manual.
If you have purchased eight curve and four straight sections separately, we recommend that
you connect your transformer to the track using an Accessory Power Wire (available separately,
6-12053). The quick connectors at the end of the Accessory Power Wire are connected to the
connector tabs on the underside of the track. Slide the quick connectors over the connector tabs
to make the connections. Refer to Figure 8. Connect the other end of the wire to your
transformer’s Power/A for the inner rail and Common/Gound/U terminals for the outer rail.
