Afternoon,

Just inherited a few Lionel trains from my fathers collection. I was missing a transformer and picked up a Lionel KW Transformer from a local sale. I took it apart and am in the process of updating the circuit breaker to a modern equivalent.

I am having a little trouble however. There is the wire that branches off the overload light. The new breaker only has two ends, where does this third wire connect to? Im trying to follow via the photos on this conversion but I am drawing a blank. Curious if someone more knowledgeable than I may offer where to solder this third wire?

Thanks.

Here is a link to a website, that does transformer repairs, and also has pages of how to repair various Lionel transformers. Scroll down, to where it explains about the circuit breaker. Hope this helps, and welcome to the forum.
