RailPro Specific Help & Discussion / How to wire power pickups on steam loco tender
« Last post by carpediem4570 on April 10, 2024, 09:21:56 PM »Greetings one and all:
I am installing an lm2S in my Mehano Ho steam locomotive. This is being wired from scratch.
Originally the tender had power to the pickups. On the instruction sheet, the locomotive wheel pickups are fed by the red and the black wires. Can I splice into those red and black wires and run the spliced wires to the tender wheel pickups to give power to the tender.?
Or is there any point to getting power to the tender wheels, since now, the rear light no longer draws power from the tender.
Thank you in advance for…enlightening…me. lol
Kind regards,
Max
