Title: shay -- new die cast truck install
Post by: gypo r.r. on May 04, 2014, 08:16:54 PM
Hi folks,  I'm getting ready to install my new die cast trucks and have a question.             Prior to hooking up the new truck wiring, is there any reason that I can't determine correct phasing of both the wires to the trucks and also the wires going into the locomotive by applying track transformer power to the wires directly where I will be making the solder joints? 

Thanks

Dear gypo,

It would be safer to use a Volt-Ohm meter at the lowest Ohms setting to trace out the wiring

before touching power to the wheels.

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Joe Satnik
