I am doing a Dead Rail Install on a 4-4-0. There are two plugs that go from the tender to the loco. None of the wires are color coded.
Does anyone know which wires in the plug go to what in the loco?
There are no wiring diagrams in any of the available Bachmann exploded diagrams. Nothing in the box.
Thanks,
Pete Steinmetz
I found what I needed. In case anyone else needs to remove the bulky board, here is a link to how to figure out where the wires originate. Motor and headlight are the ones I need.

Pete I can't help you with a diagram but I did this exercise a few times before with Bachmann and Broadway limited models.
I used a multimeter set to the Ohms scale and the beeper to measure the lowest conductivity on one wire at a time and labelling them after measuring.
It is laborious work but it's the only way to find out where what is running.
You will have to take the loco apart unfortunately to do this.
