Hello,I have an older FM TRAINMASTER the reverse board seems to have died I bought a new board and they arent the same a wiring diagram would be a big help but cant seem to find one I assume the board I bought is much newer because it has plugs the old one does not. Any help will be great.
Thanks Jeff
On the new wiring harnesses, the red wire goes to the pick-ups, black to chassis/wheel return connection, yellow and and blue to the motors. I usually snip the old wires near the PCB and splice them to the new ones with small wire nuts until I'm sure I've got the connections right for the start direction I want. Then I solder and heat shrink (don't forget to slide it on the wire before soldering) for a permanent connection.

Dear Jeff,

http://www.bachmanntrains.com/home-usa/board/index.php/topic,22612.0.html (Wiring color code about 2/3 of the way down)
Hope this helps.

Len,the problem is I got no wires with boards so I cant do what you told me. Now on new board there is 4 sets of male plugs2 then 4,4,2 I think the 2 sets of 4 are for motors pickups etc but dont know order of wires or which color goes where wish I got plugs with them I need to know what wire to what pin etc
Thanks for your help
The links Joe gave above should give you what you need.
