For instructions and pictures on dissassembly of the Genesis, and speaker installation, please refer to a previous thread posted here: http://www.mylargescale.com/Community/Forums/tabid/56/aff/35/aft/112463/afv/topic/Default.aspx In the previous thread, a 10-pin plug was used to connect the LGB PCB to a QSI Magnum PnP adaptor. In this thread, the LGB PCB is removed. Motors, track pickups, and lighting are wired directly to the QSI Magnum board using connecting plugs. Extra care was taken to keep
Kevin, See this link for the complete direct wiring thread on the Genesis. http://cs.trains.com/trccs/forums/t/163247.aspx JimC.
Tom, The Phoenix reed switch and two magnets [mounted on driver at 180 degrees] were glued to the K-4. The wires from the reed switch were attached to the original drum pickup wiring at the screws that held the spring contacts [under rear truck mount]. See attached picture. Hope this helps. JimC.
I installed two magnets and programmed the Phoenix to double the chufs per magnet. It would have been difficult to accurately space four magnets. JimC.
Kevin, I hope to post a thread on installing a QSI into a Genesis, bypassing the LGB PCB entirely. Although you are using the Revo, I think my thread will answer most of your questions about lights, motor and track pickups. I hope to post it here and on MLS on Sunday. In the meantime, maybe this picture of a modified JST plug l connected to the LGB motor/track plug might give you a head start. JimC
Tom, The problems with the chuff drum can definitely cause the problems you describe, and that I also experenced. I will try to take a picture of the reed/magnets in the next couple of days. I used the existing wires to the drum to connect to the ends of the reed switch, so I didn't have to rewire or add another plug between loco and tender. JimC.
Tom, The problem may not be the P9. I have a K-4 and had similiar problems with both QSI and Phoenix. What I found out was that the wire brushes on the sound drum were apparantly bouncing as the engine sped up. Ultimately, I put two magnets on a driver and used a reed switch for picking up the chuff. For video of the results, go to youtube and do a search for "pimanjc." There are several [out of 29 videos] that show the K-4. A few of the videos had a QSI installed. Later, the phoenix and
My two SD-45s perform perfectly whether in snow or sun. JimC.
Sean, Very nice pics. Thanks for sharing. Please tell us more about the house in your pictures. JimC.
Which [RCS] ESC-throttle are you using? I have installed an RCS BELTROL system into an F3AB unit using the RCS 9A ESC and Spectrum DX5e.
