I need some type of diagram, with instructions, on how to hook up the electrical power to an N-gauge model train set
There should be two screws on the back of the control / power supply...just connect a wire from each screw to each screw (two of them) on one of the track pieces. it the train is running the wrong way...switch the wires on just one screw set..
SOURCE: Lionel train power issue
Answer a number of questions:
Is the tranformer power adequate for the train and is it a working tranformer?
Will the train run by connecting the wires directly to the two points of the train (wheels and center rail connector)?
Are the tracks new?
Is the lockon new?

Your train controller/transformer that plugs into the wall will have a 12v DC output. Simply connect one side to the track and the other to the other track. If the transformer has an AC output, this is usually for the lights and accessories.
