Slick tip, Mitch.
The gi-raffe (coupler at far right) was unavailable for comment.
Wow! He sounds like a politician!
Happy Thanksgiving, Mitch!!
(grin) Thankee! And the same to you!
Working with the 1st and 2nd generation LCS
I'm minded of the old cartoon in Model Railroader from the 70s with an oval of track being run by a mainframe computer...
Anyhoo, with the boid in the oven and Shop Supervisors Norma and Sylvia playing in the yard, I've gotten the trucks wired and mounted to the Williams chassis!
A test run with a DC powerpack shows that the motors are running fine and in the same direction! Woot!
Note the rectifier (not bolted in yet). I'm not horribly fond of electronic reverse units, so we're going brute force on this one. Rectifier, small capacitor 'borrowed' from the K-Line reverser and a DPDT switch wired as a reverser.
The red and black wires are for directional LED headlights. I'll keep the wiring in place for possible future use, but I figure I'm just gonna wire the two light bulbs directly to track power for now and keep things old school...
