Which power wires do I use on an LGB F-7 Trucks
« on: December 02, 2025, 11:26:49 AM »
I'm going to install Rail Pro in an LGB F-7, which color wires on the power block do I use. I have done this before on my LGB Rio Grande diesel, I'm thinking I used the Brown and Yellow wires, is that correct or not. I think the Red wire is not used, but what is the Red wire used for. Please correct me on this, I could dissemble my LGB diesel to see what I did but would rather not do that just to look inside. Thanks for your help, trainman605

Do your trucks have 3 wires or 4 wires?

Are you running from track or battery?

I can give you the answer if you answer these 2 questions.

Lots of tips and techniques on my site: www.elmassian.com contact me greg@elmassian.com

4 wires, I did put power to the terminals, and the two outside ones powered the trucks. That was a couple of days ago, I believe they were the Brown and Green ones, if I remember correctly. I will be running RailPro battery power, I could have just looked into my other LGB Diesels which are all running RailPro and battery power, but I would have to remove the body shells to see inside. Thanks, I will wait for your answer, trainman
