Wiring a Rivarossi Loco... | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

StrummerOGR Forum Member SUPPORTING MEMBER

I have a two-motored Rivarossi loco. Each truck is a self-contained, powered unit, each picking up juice from both rails. Each axle has an insulated wheel, as well as a "live" one. "Old Timers" will know what I'm talking about.

Anyway, I would like to wire these trucks together, so they will pick up current as a pair; to kind of "enlarge their footprint", so to speak. There is a website that shows this project, but the diagram is in French, so I can't read it.

Can anyone here explain how this would be done?

Thank you.

Just translate the French diagram in English with Google picture translate

Thank you!

That's the picture I was referring to; I just didn't know there was also a Google "picture translate" as well...

Mark,

That is a well kept secret; even Google does not know.
