Instruction for K -Line Voltmeter car?

I also have one........and as far as I know you just place it on the track. It's great to use when looking for track dead spots on the crappy Realtrax that I'm stuck with, just push it along and the meter does the rest!

    Congrats on the win!!!!!!!!!!

I have the PRR version of that car and find it to be very useful.  If the light on top lights and the needle on the voltmeter moves when you put it on the track and apply voltage to it then it is working.  There are no other wires or brackets to assemble.

FWIW attached is a scan of the instruction sheet that came with mine.  As you can see, it’s pretty brief.  They don't even explain how to change the light bulbs or what bulb numbers to use.  Hopefully I’ll never burn them out!

But as Jimmy said, you just put it on the track and pull it around the layout.

HTH,

Guys, many thanks!

For the most accurate readings, place it directly behind the loco. The load from the loco will load the track voltage down and the meter will read it.

If you place the voltmeter car in the middle of the train, since it draws very little current, you will not be able to find high resistance connections in the track.

Thanks for the tip!
