RailKing Water Tower Repair | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

To whom that can help,

Recently, I bought a MTH RailKing Water Tower with the flashing beacon light up top from a used toy train vendor. The tower is in great shape, but the vendor pointed out that the wires that connect to the circuit board from the power supply have broken off. Looks like an easy soldering job. However, I need a picture of the circuit board with the wires still attached so I can solder the proper connections.

Could someone provide one for me, please?

Thank you in advance.

John, I don't have a picture of the circuit board but I had the same issue. I purchased this flashing LED from forum sponsor Evan Designs for $2.25. I threw out the circuit board and the old light and simply used the flashing LED wired straight into track power. It has worked great for years. I understand if you want to put it back to original but just an FYI for you or anyone in a similar predicament in the future. Good luck.
