3rd Rail SP Berkshire EOB problem

That is NOT a myth, the antenna must NOT be connected to the frame ground that is also connected to the wheels/outside track.

Usually, the antenna is connected to the tender shell and the shell is insulated from the body, so it serves as a large antenna.

Im not trying to get off topic..john I dont understand this?? said there a switch for steam and diesel ..dont see anything..the guy had it wire to run full blast..took the wires off of that..those the other 2 prong plug was for the fan motor?Britrailor does your smoke unit look like this one?Also look at your 8 pin conecters from tender and engine side.. read that there cheap and at times can short out with one another..that why Im going to oder MTH conecters..

Josey, I don't have a turbo smoke unit, I just wanted the instructions so I could see how they work with the EOB boards.

FWIW, one of the tethers I have does indeed have a smoked trace between the wire and the connector.   However, they're 10 pin tethers that I have.

John,was asking you if you read the instructions,if you understand it better then me ?maybe you might be able to help me out?Britrailor,you train drive line is just like my S1 duplex belt driven..would like to see how your smoke unit is wired?

Britrailor..did you get it fixed yet?

Joseywales,

Yes indeed.

Thanks to gunrunnerjohn's, replacement EOB motherboard, my SP Berk is running like a dream.
