Toggle switch wiring - Model Railroader Magazine

As far as a tortoise, all you have to do is replace the momentary switch with an ON-ON toggle switch. LION gets no credit for that, as it is printed on the Tortoise instruction sheet. Here are the LIONS wiring specs.

And here is the simple diagram similar to the one posted above, it takes the place of the AUX diagram in this sequence of drawings:

AS YOU CAN SEE, the LION grounds his common return to the building grounding system. It is not just "common" it is GROUNDED, as it really must be if you are using it for many things, as stray voltages on this wire can cause strange behaviors. YOU NEED TO KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING when you connect any wire directly from the layout to your building receptacle. Otherwise, skip the grounding to the mains and ground it to a near by water pipe instead (assuming that your building still uses metal water pipes).
