<blockquote class="quote"> <div class="quote-user">BigDaddy</div> <div class="quote-content"> <p>The PO said he had a LL GP20  It certainly could be different than my LL GP9. In cardiology, they call it concealed conduction, electrical pathways in the heart you can only imagine.  Maybe that's the case here but I don't see a second wire from my trucks.</p> <p>EDIT If the frame is the second (concealed) pathway, well I'm glad I brought that up before installing a DCC board, otherwise the kimchee would be deep.</p> <p><a title="View larger (opens in a new window)" href="http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag32/SirHenry3/Model%20Railroad/IMG_2763_zpsnoyt7gjz.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="display:inline;" src="http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag32/SirHenry3/Model%20Railroad/IMG_2763_zpsnoyt7gjz.jpg" alt=" " /></a></p> <p><a title="View larger (opens in a new window)" href="http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag32/SirHenry3/Model%20Railroad/FullSizeRender_zpsisekphwg.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="display:inline;" src="http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag32/SirHenry3/Model%20Railroad/FullSizeRender_zpsisekphwg.jpg" alt=" " /></a></p> <p> </p> <div style="clear:both;"> </div> <p> </p> </div> </blockquote> <div class="quote-footer"> </div> <p> </p> <p>Yes its a hot frame.  When I plugged the decoder into mine I did not pay attention to that (but I had no issues).  Should be black wire running from both trucks.  Red wire is screwed into the top of the weight.  Engineers side if you are short hood forward.  On the Left hand side (short hood forward) is a red wire going to the lower motor connection.  This is how they get away with hot frame.   Both trucks provide power.</p>
