Hi,

Does the wire from the S88 module get connected to the contact track(24995) on the "B" or the "O: terminal??

Do I need both tracks for one contact area? (Instructions show 2 pieces)

Hey! Come down! Flapper

Sometimes you only receive answers from guys around the world... far-away of your longitude... BigGrin BigGrin

Well, contact tracks need to be connected to the "O" terminal (ground of the track). NEVER on "B"!!! "B" is from Bahn in german, or the positive middle rail.
Always should be connected on the outer rails...

ps. the cheapest way to create contacts-tracks is to pickup your existing tracks, cutting the metal above, and insulate the terminals; your rolling stocks do the rest.

Mother M* doesn't allow direct links to her PDF files.

When using a pair of 24995 you don't have to use the 74030 insulator caps.
When you do it as Walter suggests, you don't need 24995 - instead you need a pair of 74030. No visible marks on the tracks and can be used between any pieces of track.

You mention using a pair of 24995 does that mean 2 for each siding on my shadow line? plan attached

The 24995 is a 24094 with a cut in one rail:

For a contact track, you need two cuts in the rail (start and end).
With normal tracks and 74030, you have more flexibility (any lengths can be used) and it gets cheaper.

For two adjacent contact tracks, three pieces of 24995 can be used - or four for three adjacent contact tracks.
