| Contactor plate for accessories.  A mainstay for Lionel operation. This single-  pole, double-throw weight-activated switch was  developed for the 153 Block Signal in 1940. The  153C acted as a switch between terimals, but  eventually was used as an on/off weight activated  switch for numerous accessories(45 Gateman,  152/252 Xing Gate, and more). Can be used today  with most accessories. |
