HO / Wiring help
May 10, 2017, 08:32:51 AM
I picked up a used (abused!) 2-6-0 Alco DCC & Sound in need of TLC. The 8 wire cable between the engine and tender was sheared completely and some other damage existed to the floor of the tender and tender trucks. So I purchased a new 8 wire cable from parts along with a complete new tender chassis including speaker & trucks. So far I transferred the main board with DCC decoder and connected the speaker & rear light board to the new chassis/board and am in the process of figuring out the 8 wires between the engine and tender. Since all 8 wires are black, I really don't want to have to disassemble the engine and use an ohm meter to work out the wiring if at all possible! Any help with which pin on the engine connector equals what connection on the main circuit board would be greatly appreciated. Or at least I'm hoping for help to prevent me from letting all the smoke out of the decoder!  :o
