I'm going to be starting a PS3 swap on a project using a PS3 steam upgrade kit. The locomotive in question is not MTH but will have a Pittman motor. The tach reader is usually mounted where the tach reader wiring is toward the motor. However, in this situation, there is not enough room to do so. I want to mount the tach reader in the opposite direction, with just the reader over the flywheel and the wires facing away from the motor. I'm under the assumption that this will work fine. From what I can gather the tach reader is just counting stripes and does not care which way the flywheel is turning (i.e. if mounted opposite of the way MTH shows in the kit the tach reader would see the flywheel turn in the opposite direction when going forward), I'd just like to confirm. I've attached (crude) images of how the MTH instructions want the tach reader mounted and what I want to do, to clarify what I'm asking.
