3472 Question

[traindaddy1]

Hi! It's me again. I am working with a Lionel Milk Car #3472. Now that I have two trucks with pick-up shoes, comes the question: Should each truck have a wire from the mechanism attached or was the car designed to have only one truck wired? (Probably very 'basic' knowledge to most of you but this 'older' guy appreciates your help) Many thanks.

Hi
Both truck have connector shoe, one for "+" and the second one for "-" . I know that in AC voltage dosen't exist +/-.
I hope to help to you.
Andre.
