I have a lionel 3444 that I want to make sure is wired right. The Lional repair guide just says the 2 trucks are wired in parrell but I'm not quite sure what they mean. Do they mean that the one wire of the aggitator is wired to the switch and the other wire is met like a "T" between the trucks? Anyone have a bottom side pic they can post for me or a wiring diagram? Any help would be appreciated. I tried wiring it to one truck and daisy chain and the T method above and both results make the car work but it will eventually stop on the tracks and one truck in paticular gets hot, there is also sparking going on.
I should state that this year when I wanted to get the car more track worthy I broke one of the rollers so I had to order a new 481-10 bottom plate and track roller assembly. Seems like a pretty easy fix I would think but I coudn't quite rember how it was wired when my part "finally" came in. I seem to remember it being a T from that loose wire off the aggitator but something isn't right.
