QUOTE: Originally posted by TonyWalsham Welcome to LS and Battery R/C Figure 8. For basic set ups the installation is very straightforward. You connect the battery pack to the + & - terminals on Motor Driver and the output to the motor. Four wires. The loco track pick ups MUST be isolated from the track. You can rewire the lights to be on constantly and change direction but you can leave them as is to start with. You may need to add the suppression components I supply to the motor. For future installations you will need to decide whether or not you want sound and if it is to be controlled by R/C as well. It can be quite easily. Best wishes,Tony Walsham (RCS).
QUOTE: Originally posted by TonyWalsham Hi figure8. It would be better if i obtained one for myself and did an installation. I would document it and take photos as I went which would make it easier for you to understand....If the above procedure appeals I will order a switcher asap and get on with it...
QUOTE: Originally posted by TonyWalsham It will take some weeks for me to get the switcher organised and delivered from the USA. The actual installation and documentation should be quite speedy once I can get started so please be patient...
Is it REAL? or Just 1:29 scale?
Long live Outdoor Model Railroading.
QUOTE: Originally posted by TonyWalsham My Hartland Mack switcher and Woody arrived today. Everything will have to go in the cab....It may be necessary to redo the lights so that the wiring connections go down into the motor block....Constant removal and replacement of the lights lenses may be a long term problem ...The only other problem I foresee is placement of an ON-OFF switch.
QUOTE: Originally posted by TonyWalsham Figure8. I do like the idea. I will get one from a local supplier and have at it. Having everything outside the cab will make life a lot easier. More to follow. Best wishes, Tony Walsham (RCS).
